Description
Anubias Nana Bonsai is another species in the Anubias family. It falls between Anubias Nana Petite and Anubias Nana in terms of sizing. Just like the rest of the Anubias species, it's a great choice for beginners due to its easy care and overall hardiness. This plant is almost indestructible in any planted aquarium tank and can survive in a wide range of environments. However, if presented with optimal conditions, this plant will thrive and results will be rewarding. Best when used as a mid-ground plant attached to stones or wood as an accent or centerpiece depending on tank size. We recommend Anubias Nana Bonsai for any size aquarium.
It's a flowering aquatic plant that grows best when the rhizome is attached to hardscape material such as wood or stone. Regular fertilization is favorable and low to medium lighting is sufficient as high lighting will promote the growth of algae on its leaves. CO2 is not required but promotes faster growth and robust leaves.
Propagation is straightforward; simply cut or pull apart rhizomes to be reattached.

Who knew one $17 plant could take down an entire community of 5 oto catfish and 10 pigmy Cory + who knows how many shrimp in just 14 hours! According to google it is likely the plant was covered in pesticides! Your plant was the only change to the tank and I’m devastated! My water parameters are excellent and my tank was healthy until I added your plant! I thought I was buying my product from a reputable supplier of aquarium plants! Why would you use such heavy chemicals on a plant intended for a fish tank? Why would you not disclose that you do or provide information/instructions on how to treat the plant before adding it to my tank? It has decimated all my hard work!
My plant arrived as described in a sandwich zip lock bag. The plant was intact and I was thrilled with how it looked in my tank! I’m not made of money and have built up my community tank and the plants I have slowly… bit by bit as I could afford! It is my pride and joy and I have grown and sold plants to substitute the costs that come with it! You have just set me back 12 months worth of saving and building up my fish stocks! I’m so disappointed 🥺

All way's good plants

Love my lil guy
Floating Plant Mix
I ordered a lily not knowing how it would arrive in Tasmania, bit it did!! All packed neatly in a bag with soil, easily potted and now in my pond, ready to grow out. Thank you
Nice, dark red colour.
These are great 👍 very happy with this purchase
This is nice - good size for a small tank I glued all my moss onto the piece of wood and it’s now in my holding tank with Aquatic plants.
Looks good quality shrimp food but no instructions or product identification on the package. If you are new to the site you may need to get instructions online to find out how to feed the shrimp.
Dropped them in the bottom of the aquatic plant tank and they are doing well
Love this:)
These are all doing well in the tank but most of the shrimp have died. Packaging was not in the best condition and won’t order from them again though. I don’t recommend ordering live fish or shrimp etc… they are not packaged properly
