Anubias Nana Black
Anubias barteri var. nana ‘Black’
Anubias barteri var. nana ‘Black’ is a beautiful Anubias variety known for its deep dark-green to almost black foliage. Its rich coloration gives aquascapes a bold and dramatic look, making it an excellent contrast plant when placed among lighter green plants or hardscape.
This hardy plant grows from a creeping rhizome and is well suited for both beginner and experienced aquarists. Like most Anubias varieties, it is slow-growing and thrives when attached to driftwood, rocks, or bonsai-style hardscape where it can gradually develop lush foliage.
Care Tips
Lighting: Low to Medium
CO₂: Not required
Placement: Foreground to Midground (attached to hardscape)
Growth Rate: Slow
Propagation: Divide the rhizome carefully to grow new plants
Aquascaping Notes
Anubias nana ‘Black’ is commonly used in nature-style aquascapes, nano tanks, and shrimp aquariums. Its dark leaves create strong visual contrast when paired with mosses, Bucephalandra, and lighter green plants.
⚠️ Important: Do not bury the rhizome in the substrate. Attach the plant to rocks or driftwood using aquascaping glue or thread to prevent rhizome rot.
Please note that leaf size and coloration may vary slightly as these are natural aquatic plants.
