🌿 Anubias Petite Round on Lava Stone (Anubias barteri var. nana 'Petite Round')
Compact Rounded Leaves • Ready-Mounted on Natural Lava Stone • Instant Nano Aquascape Feature
📋 The Anubias Petite Round on Lava Stone is a ready-made feature piece: a compact, round-leaved Anubias firmly attached to a piece of natural volcanic lava stone. Just set it in place and your aquascape has an instant focal point, with no planting, no tying and no waiting. Its small, rounded, deep-green leaves look superb in nano tanks, shrimp tanks and detailed layouts, and it sits beautifully beside mosses, Bucephalandra and driftwood.
Anubias is one of the hardiest aquarium plants there is. It grows slowly and steadily, thrives in low to moderate light without CO2, and keeps its tidy shape with almost no trimming. Because it lives on the stone rather than in the substrate, you can move it whenever you change your layout. The porous lava stone adds natural texture and gives beneficial bacteria plenty of surface to settle on. Prefer to mount it yourself? It's also available as a potted plant.
It's a freshwater plant, perfect for freshwater aquariums and also at home in paludariums.
