Anubias Nana 'Gold' is a yellow-green cultivar of the classic Anubias nana — same rounded leaf shape and compact form, but with a brighter chartreuse-gold tone instead of the usual deep green. It ships potted in a small mesh basket with rock wool, but the long-term home for Anubias is attached to hardscape, not in substrate.
The gold coloring is most pronounced under stronger lighting; under low light, the plant tends to shift toward standard green. It stands out as a foreground or midground accent when paired with darker green plants. Same easy Anubias care, just brighter.
Care Notes
Anubias grows attached to hardscape, not in substrate. The rhizome — the thick horizontal stem at the base of the leaves — must remain ABOVE the substrate; buried rhizomes rot. After removing from the pot and rinsing most of the rock wool out of the roots, attach with super glue gel or thread to driftwood or a flat stone.
To keep the gold coloring vivid, give this variety stronger light than you would standard nana. CO2 is still not required, but a stable nutrient profile and good lighting bring out the color. Trim damaged leaves at the rhizome.

Expert Advice
Razz Aquatics Recommendation
Pair Anubias Nana 'Gold' against darker green plants or dark substrate — the contrast is where this variety earns its place. Give it the brighter end of your lighting profile if you want to keep the gold tone vivid. Same low-CO2, rhizome-above-substrate care as the rest of the Anubias family.

Common Questions
Anubias Nana 'Gold' FAQ
Is Anubias Nana Gold safe for shrimp?+
Yes — Anubias is great for shrimp tanks. We select plants for shrimp tanks and handle them with invertebrate safety in mind.
Do I need CO2 or fertilizer?+
No CO2 required. A basic liquid fertilizer regimen helps the gold tone stay vivid but is optional.
Why can't I plant it in substrate?+
Anubias is an epiphyte. The rhizome (the thick horizontal stem) needs to stay above the substrate; burying it causes the rhizome to rot.
What is the free shipping threshold?+
Plants and dry goods ship free at $75+. Adding livestock to your order unlocks free 2-Day Shipping at $120+ or free Overnight at $200+.
Why does my Gold variety look more green?+
The gold coloring is most pronounced under stronger lighting. Under low light it shifts toward standard green. Give it brighter light if the color is what drew you to it.
How do I attach it?+
Remove the plant from the pot, rinse most of the rock wool out from around the rhizome, and either tie it to driftwood or stone with thin thread or apply super glue gel to the underside of the rhizome. The rhizome must stay ABOVE the substrate.
How is it shipped?+
Plants are packed with damp protective material to help protect them in transit. Weather protection may be used when conditions require it. Plants typically ship Monday through Thursday so they avoid sitting over the weekend.
Is there a live arrival guarantee?+
Yes — Live Plant Arrival Guarantee on every order. Photograph the plant in its original packaging on the day of delivery, before trimming or replanting, and submit a claim through the Start a Claim page. Approved claims are resolved with store credit, refund, or replacement at Razz Aquatics' discretion.
