Description
Anubias minima ‘Variegated’ is a rare and highly decorative freshwater aquarium plant valued for its compact size and striking variegated foliage. Its narrow, elongated leaves display beautiful patterns of green mixed with creamy white to pale yellow marbling, making it a standout accent plant in planted aquariums. Each leaf has a unique variegation pattern, ensuring no two plants look exactly the same.
This slow-growing rhizome plant is extremely hardy and well suited to low-light and low-tech aquariums. It does not require COâ‚‚ injection, making it an excellent choice for beginners or aquarists seeking a low-maintenance yet visually distinctive plant. For best results, the rhizome should be attached to driftwood, rocks, or hardscape, as burying it in substrate may cause rot.
Anubias minima ‘Variegated’ adapts well to a wide range of water parameters and is compatible with tropical community fish, shrimp, and nano tank setups. Its tough leaves are resistant to grazing, making it suitable for aquariums with fish that may nibble on softer plants. Due to its slow growth rate, algae control and stable water conditions are recommended to maintain the clarity of its variegation.
Ideal for foreground to midground placement, this plant is commonly used in nature-style and modern aquascapes to add contrast, texture, and visual interest without overwhelming the layout. Its rare appearance and ease of care make Anubias minima ‘Variegated’ a premium choice for aquascapers looking to add elegance and uniqueness to their aquarium.
