[ARRIVED 1-AUG-2025] Anubias Nana Petite on Lava Rock - Pre-Attached Beginner Friendly Aquarium Plant

Description

Instant Aquascape! Pre-Grown Anubias Nana Petite on Rock

Short Description:
The easiest way to add lush, green beauty to your aquarium! This Anubias Nana Petite comes securely pre-attached to a natural lava rock, ready to place in your tank. This beginner-friendly, low-tech plant is famous for its tiny, deep green leaves and incredible hardiness. No planting required – just drop it in and enjoy!


Key Features & Highlights (Bullet Points)

  • 🪨 INSTANT AQUASCAPE, READY-TO-USE: Save weeks of growth and effort. This slow-growing plant is already securely attached to a porous lava rock, providing an immediate, natural-looking hardscape element.

  • 🌿 TINY, LUSH GREEN LEAVES: Anubias Nana Petite is the miniature version of the classic Anubias, perfect for nano tanks, foregrounds, and creating a sense of scale in any aquascape.

  • ✅ INCREDIBLY LOW MAINTENANCE: Thrives in low light and doesn't require CO2 injection. It's incredibly forgiving and perfect for beginners who want guaranteed success.

  • 🐌 ALGAE-RESISTANT & DURABLE: Its slow growth and tough leaves make it highly resistant to algae and safe from plant-eating fish like goldfish and cichlids.

  • 🦐 SHRIMP & FISH SAFE: The dense leaves provide perfect hiding spots and grazing grounds for baby shrimp (shrimp fry), snails, and small fish.


Detailed Description

Looking for a beautiful, no-fuss plant that instantly enhances your aquascape? Your search is over. This Anubias Nana Petite is expertly attached to a natural lava rock, eliminating the guesswork and mess of tying plants yourself.

Anubias Nana Petite is a superstar in the aquarium plant world. Its diminutive size (leaves are often smaller than a fingernail) allows you to create intricate, detailed landscapes. The deep green, waxy leaves provide a stunning contrast against light-colored substrates and dark driftwood.

Because it absorbs nutrients directly from the water through its rhizome (the thick green stem), this plant should never be buried in substrate. Our ready-made solution solves this problem perfectly! The porous lava rock offers an ideal surface for the roots to grip and grow onto, ensuring your plant thrives for years to come.

Ideal For:

  • Beginners and expert aquascapers alike

  • Nano Tanks and Small Aquariums

  • Low-Tech, No-CO2 Setups

  • Shrimp Tanks (Cherry, Crystal, Amano, etc.)

  • Cichlid, Goldfish, and Turtle tanks (as they won't eat it!)

  • Attaching to driftwood or other rocks to create a custom look


Specifications & Care Guide (At a Glance)



Parameter Details
Lighting Low to Moderate
Growth Speed Very Slow
CO2 Requirement Not Required (Benefits from low doses)
Placement Foreground, Midground, Attached to Hardscape
Key Rule Do not bury the rhizome. Leave it above the substrate.
Propagation Cut the rhizome with a sharp knife to create new plants.
Plant Type Epiphyte (Grows attached to surfaces)

How to Use:

  1. Rinse: Gently rinse the plant and rock under cool water to remove any transport debris.

  2. Place: Simply place the lava rock anywhere in your aquarium! You can leave it on the substrate, partially bury the rock (but not the plant's rhizome), or even glue it to a larger piece of driftwood.

  3. Enjoy: Watch as your plant continues to grow and eventually carpet over the rock, creating a beautiful, natural effect.


Important Notes & Considerations

  • ⚠️ DON'T BURY THE RHIZOME: The thick, green horizontal stem (the rhizome) must never be buried in gravel or sand, or it will rot and die. The rock itself can be buried.

  • 🌱 FERTILIZING: While not required, occasional liquid fertilizer will promote healthier, faster growth and more vibrant leaves.

  • ✂️ TRIMMING: Simply trim away any old or yellowing leaves at the stem base to encourage new growth.

  • 🔄 NATURAL VARIATION: Each plant is unique! The size, shape, and number of leaves may vary slightly. What you receive is a healthy, established plant ready to grow.


Why Choose Our Pre-Attached Plants?

  • ✅ IMMEDIATE IMPACT: No waiting for plants to attach; your scape looks great from day one.

  • ✅ EXPERTLY ATTACHED: Securely grown on, not just loosely tied, ensuring it won’t break apart during shipping.

  • ✅ HEALTHY & ESTABLISHED: We send you robust plants with strong root systems already adapted to aquatic life.

  • ✅ 100% GUARANTEED: We ensure your plant arrives healthy and vibrant.

    Live Arrival & Ordering FAQ

    Do you offer a live arrival guarantee?

    Yes. All livestock is covered by our Live Arrival Guarantee.

    In the rare event of DOA, please contact us promptly with clear photos of the livestock in the original unopened bag.

    Please review our full DOA and store policies before purchase.

    Can you ship to all states in Australia?

    No. Due to state restrictions, we cannot ship livestock or live plants to WA and TAS.

    What should I check before ordering?

    Before placing an order, make sure:

    • Your tank is fully cycled and stable
    • Your aquarium has enough space for the species
    • Your current livestock are compatible in temperament, size, and requirements
    • Your water parameters, habitat, and temperature suit the species
    • You are not adding too many fish at once
    What should I expect when my fish arrives?

    It is normal for fish, shrimp, or snails to look pale, stressed, or less active after shipping.

    This is temporary. Most livestock will settle and regain colour within a few days.

    How long does it take for fish to settle in?

    Most livestock will take 3–7 days to fully adjust to their new environment.

    Should I feed my fish immediately after arrival?

    No. We recommend waiting 24 hours before feeding to allow them to settle.

    If you already have fish in your tank, feeding them before introducing new arrivals can help reduce stress.

    Why do fish sometimes struggle after being added to a tank?

    In most cases, issues are caused by tank conditions, not shipping.

    • Uncycled or unstable tanks
    • Poor water parameters
    • Overstocking
    • Unsuitable tank mates
    What is Nano Tanks Australia’s main tip for new livestock?

    Most livestock losses happen in immature or unstable tanks, not during shipping.

    If your setup is not fully established, the risk to new arrivals is significantly higher.

    Not sure if this fish is right for your setup?

    If you are unsure whether this species suits your setup, contact us before ordering and we’ll help point you in the right direction.
