Anubias Nana Petite on Mini Lava Rock

Anubias Nana Petite (Anubias barteri var. nana 'Petite') is the miniature form of the iconic Anubias Nana, native to West and Central Africa. Its tiny, rounded, deep-green leaves make it one of the most sought-after foreground plants in the hobby — and it's pre-attached here to a mini natural lava rock for an effortless, ready-to-place nano aquascape feature. Lava rock's porous surface encourages strong root attachment over time while also supporting beneficial bacteria colonies. Perfect for shrimp tanks, nano aquariums, and detailed foreground work.

Propagation: Divide the rhizome with a clean, sharp blade ensuring each section has at least 3–4 healthy leaves. Reattach to hardscape using aquarium-safe super glue or fishing line. Never bury the rhizome in substrate as it will rot.
