Overview:

Anubias barteri nana ‘Gold’ is a rare and eye-catching Anubias variety, valued for its light yellow to golden-green leaves that provide bright contrast in planted aquariums. Its compact size and distinctive colour make it a standout accent plant.

New growth typically displays the most vibrant golden tones, gradually deepening slightly as the leaves mature. Like all Anubias varieties, it is extremely hardy and well suited to low-tech aquariums.

Care and Growth:

This plant thrives in low to medium lighting and does not require CO₂ injection, though supplementation can support healthier growth. Excessively strong lighting should be avoided, as it may encourage algae growth and can cause colour loss.

It should be attached to rocks or driftwood, keeping the rhizome exposed to prevent rot. Growth is slow, requiring minimal maintenance beyond occasional removal of older leaves.

Key Features:

• Distinctive golden-yellow to light green foliage
• Compact size ideal for smaller aquariums
• Extremely hardy and low maintenance
