Anubias barteri var nana Gold is a captivating cultivar of the popular Dwarf Spear Leaf. First discovered in a nursery in Taiwan, this stunning variety stands out with its unique yellow-gold to light green foliage, offering a fresh and vibrant contrast to the traditional darker green Anubias species.

Why Choose Anubias Nana Gold?

• Unique Foliage: The light green to golden-yellow leaves provide a striking appearance, perfect for adding a touch of brightness to any aquascape.
• Hardy and Low Maintenance: Like other Anubias species, it thrives in a wide range of water conditions and requires minimal care.
• Versatile Placement: Ideal for the foreground of your aquarium or attached to driftwood and rocks for a natural look.
• Slow Growth: Its slow growth rate ensures it remains manageable, making it an excellent choice for beginners and experienced aquarists alike.

Care and Maintenance

Anubias barteri var nana Gold prefers medium lighting to maintain its distinctive golden hue. Low lighting may cause the leaves to darken, reducing its vibrant appeal. It can tolerate a wide range of water parameters, thriving in temperatures between 22-28°C, pH levels of 5-9, and varying degrees of water hardness. While CO2 supplementation is optional, providing 0-10 mg/l can promote healthier growth.
