Anubias Barteri Nana on Lava Rock
Anubias Nana is a popular aquatic plant known for its small, heart-shaped leaves, slow growth, and exceptional hardiness—making it a mainstay in low-tech and beginner-friendly aquariums. It’s also exceptionally shrimp- and snail-safe.
Mounting it on lava rock is ideal because:
- Porous texture helps roots anchor quickly.
- No substrate needed—rhizome must remain exposed to avoid rot.
- Natural aesthetic and easy placement within the tank.
Care Guidelines
| Parameter | Recommended Range |
|---|---|
| Light Level | Low to moderate—avoid strong direct lighting to prevent algae buildup |
| Temperature | 68–82 °F (20–28 °C) |
| pH | 6.5–7.8 |
| Growth Rate | Slow to moderate; expect slow, steady development |
| Placement | Foreground to midground—great for nano tanks or enhancing detail |
Usage Notes:
- Avoid covering the rhizome with substrate—mounting on lava rock keeps it safe from rot.
- Lava rock also acts as a beneficial substrate for biofilm and microbial life.
- While CO₂ and fertilizers can boost growth, they're not essential—this plant thrives in low-tech setups.
- Gentle water flow helps keep leaves clean and slowing algae buildup.
- Remove older leaves carefully near the base to maintain health
