About This Collection

Anubias

Anubias are hardy rhizome plants known for thick leaves, low-light tolerance, and easy care. They are excellent choices for shrimp tanks, beginner aquariums, and low-tech planted setups. Anubias should be attached to wood, rock, or decor instead of placing the rhizome deep in substrate. Their tough leaves provide grazing surfaces for shrimp and visual structure for aquascapes without needing high light or CO2. Live Anubias plants are covered by our Live Plant Arrival Guarantee. Photograph any issue in the original packaging on the day of delivery, before trimming or attaching.
