      Care Guide:

      • Tank Size: Anubias can be grown in nano tanks as small as 5 gallons or larger aquariums.

      • Water Parameters: They thrive in a pH range of 6.0-7.5, soft to moderately hard water, and temperatures between 72-82°F (22-28°C).

      • Lighting: Anubias prefers low to moderate lighting. Excessive aquarium light can encourage algae growth on their leaves.

      • Substrate: While they don't require a specific substrate, attaching Anubias to driftwood or rocks is recommended to prevent root rot.

      • Fertilization: While not necessary, using fertilizers occasionally can enhance growth and color.

      • Propagation: Anubias can be easily propagated by dividing the rhizome, the thick stem from which leaves and roots emerge.

      Popular Anubias Varieties:

      • Anubias Barteri: The most common and versatile variety, available in various leaf shapes and sizes.

      • Anubias Nana: A dwarf variety, perfect for nano tanks and foreground placement.

      • Anubias Congensis: Known for its elongated leaves and upright growth habit.

      • Anubias Coffeefolia: Features unique, textured leaves resembling coffee beans.

      • Anubias Golden: A rare variety with vibrant, golden-yellow foliage.

      FAQs:

      Are Anubias plants easy to care for? 

      Absolutely! Anubias is renowned for its resilience and low-maintenance nature. They can tolerate a wide range of water conditions and thrive even in low light, making them perfect for beginners.

      Can Anubias be planted in the substrate? 

      While it's possible, burying the rhizome (thick stem) can lead to rot. It's best to attach Anubias to aquarium decor such as rocks or driftwood using fishing lines or plant glue.

      How do Anubias plants reproduce? 

      Anubias reproduce through rhizome division. Simply cut a portion of the rhizome with leaves and roots attached, and it will develop into a new plant.

      My first time of ordering fish online. With it being winter I was a little concerned with the mail. Placed my order late Monday night. I get a text Wednesday afternoon it was shipped. The box was dropped at my door this morning. It was well packaged and the fish were well bagged. I followed the acclimation guide and all is looking great.

      I’ve been looking for a variety of fish for my tank and unfortunately, because of the pandemic, many places are experiencing shortages and limited varieties on their normal stock. I thankfully stumbled upon this place by searching online And couldn’t be happier. Nguyen is such a nice and knowledge guy, and was able to get all the fish I was looking for! Fish came quickly and all seem to be thriving. Defiantly will come back for all my fish needs. Thank you !

      Went here for a fish and advice on setting up the tank for a young child because the fish in the big pet stores looked unhealthy. The proprietor was as helpful as one could be, answered all our questions and offered great advice based on our needs. The space was small, but he made excellent use of it and you could see all the fish were healthy and active. He even showed us how to train them. He clearly cares for his fish and was just so knowledgeable on every topic relating to keeping fish. Appointment was required. We will definitely be going back for our fish needs.
