This miniature Anubias variety has very easy care requirements and is perfect for the foreground and middle ground of the aquarium!
Petite Anubias Nana (Anubias barteri “Petite Nana”) is a very in-demand Anubias variety for the home aquarium. Unlike many plants, Petite Anubias Nana attaches itself to and propagates on aquarium décor rather than growing with its roots buried in the substrate. “Petite” Anubias plants can grow to the same mass size as other similar plants of the genus, but their individual leaves are much smaller and more plentiful. We now offer this exquisite plant attached to an attractive 3+ inch driftwood piece which can be placed anywhere in the aquarium.
Petite Anubias Nana is relatively rare because it is very slow growing. It only requires low to moderate lighting and nutrient rich water, although its growth rate can be increased through CO2 injection/supplementation. It reproduces through rhizome division. If it is planted in the substrate, Petite Anubias Nana should not be planted with its rhizome (roots) buried in the substrate or it will rot and recede. Instead, it can be attached to rocks, driftwood and other decorations in the aquarium, or it can be planted on top of the substrate as long as the roots are not completely buried. It is a very durable plant and it can be kept in a wide variety of water parameters.
CO2 supplementation is beneficial, but not necessary for this plant. Like other Anubias varietites, Petite Anubias Nana does not seem to benefit from further chemical supplementation, though it is not visibly harmed by them in a mixed plant aquarium.
No aquarium plant distributor/nursery/wholesaler/retailer can or will guarantee their plants to be 100% snail free. We can not guarantee our plants will be snail free.

Shipping Schedule for this service
Current Handling Time:
1-9 business days
Here at Aquatic Arts, we consider the welfare of the live animals we are shipping to be of the foremost importance. This process is much more involved than simply creating a shipping label and affixing it to a box. Depending on the order, it takes from 4 to 7 people to complete this process properly. We check the weather conditions here where they fly out of the Indianapolis UPS facility and the destination for each shipment. We start early each morning and go through a multi-step process to have the day's shipments prepared in time for the UPS pickup. The volume of orders in our system also affects the processing time. Therefore our stated handling time is 1-9 business days.
Shipping Rate
Pricing is by size of package needed to fill entire order and distance it must travel. It will be calculated at checkout.
