Beginner-friendly
Anubias 'Nancon' is a cross between Anubias nana and Anubias congensis, blending the compact form of nana with the slightly larger, more elongated leaves of congensis. 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.
Nancon makes a great midground attachment plant — larger than standard nana but more compact than congensis, with thick dark-green leaves on relatively short stems. Same hardy, low-light, no-CO2 care as the rest of the Anubias family.
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.
Low light is fine; this plant does not need CO2 or fertilizer. Excess light accelerates algae growth on the slow-growing leaves. Trim damaged leaves at the rhizome with sharp scissors.

Why We Love This Plant
01
The Midground Sweet Spot
Larger than standard nana but more compact than full congensis. Nancon fills the midground without overwhelming a nano tank or disappearing in a larger one.
02
Same Easy Anubias Care
Low light, no CO2 needed, no fertilizer needed, tolerant of a wide range of water parameters. Same hardy temperament as the rest of the Anubias family.
03
Selected for Shrimp Tanks
Selected for shrimp tanks and handled with invertebrate safety in mind. Thick dark-green leaves host plenty of biofilm.
Expert Advice
Razz Aquatics Recommendation
Nancon is a great choice when standard Anubias nana feels too small and full congensis feels too tall. The hybrid sits naturally as a midground focal point on driftwood or rock. Same low-light, no-CO2 care as the rest of the Anubias family.

Common Questions
Anubias Nancon Potted FAQ
Is Anubias Nancon 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. Anubias Nancon grows under low light without CO2 or fertilizer. Growth speeds up with better lighting and dosing, but the plant thrives in low-tech setups.
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+.
How is Nancon different from regular Anubias Nana?+
Nancon is a hybrid of nana and congensis. Leaves are larger and more elongated than standard nana but the plant stays more compact than full congensis — a useful midground size.
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.
