Anubias Nana Petite is arguably the most popular variation of Anubias used in the planted aquarium hobby. Easily recognized for its smaller foliage and rich green tones, Anubias Nana Petite is commonly used in planted aquariums of all styles. This variation of Anubias retains a bulletproof reputation in being an aquarium plant where effort is required to kill it. This quality makes it a fantastic choice for beginner aquarists who are building confidence with keeping live aquatic plants in the aquarium. At the same time, the overall appearance is equally loved by seasoned experts who have been keeping planted tanks for some time. Anubias Nana Petite requires seldom maintenance and is very easy to care for. This aquarium plant is typically available in plentiful portions making it a great filler where coverage is needed. Like most Anubias, Anubias Nana Petite will tolerate a wide range of aquarium conditions and also has the ability to thrive in both aquarium and terrarium-like enclosures. 

Anubias Nana Petite will sometimes produce blooms and is an epiphytic grower, meaning it can be easily attached to aquarium driftwood and stones. Low to medium light is sufficient, but the addition of CO2 injection and a nutrient source will produce a noticeable difference in growth and overall health. Propagation may be done by gently separating plants from the rhizome and reattaching or replanting.
