Anubias barteri var. nana 'Golden Mini' is an exceptionally rare and beautiful miniature variant of the Golden Anubias. Featuring tiny, vibrant yellowish-green leaves, this compact epiphyte is the perfect way to add a bright, eye-catching focal point to nano tanks and intricate hardscape details.
Why Choose It
-
Nano-Tank Perfect: Its ultra-compact size makes it ideal for small aquariums, foreground detailing, or tucking into tight rock crevices.
-
Vibrant Contrast: The bright golden-green foliage acts as a natural spotlight, standing out beautifully against dark substrates, driftwood, and darker green plants.
-
Bulletproof Hardiness: Shares the legendary resilience of all Anubias species, making it incredibly forgiving and easy for beginners to grow.
-
Ultra Low Maintenance: A very slow grower that requires zero pruning, no CO2 injection, and minimal fertilization.
Planting & Care
-
Attachment: Never bury the thick horizontal rhizome in the substrate, as it will suffocate and rot. Use aquarium-safe cyanoacrylate super glue or fine dark thread to attach the rhizome directly to small rocks or driftwood branches.
-
Upkeep: While it easily survives in low light, providing medium lighting helps it maintain its signature bright golden coloration (otherwise it may revert to a darker green). Keep in a stable environment with gentle flow to prevent algae from settling on the slow-growing leaves.
