Anubias Insect
Anubias ‘Insect’
Anubias ‘Insect’ is a rare and collectible Anubias variety known for its unique leaf shape and compact growth. The leaves are typically narrow with slightly curved edges, giving the plant a distinctive appearance that stands out among other Anubias varieties.
Like most Anubias species, this plant grows from a creeping rhizome and is extremely hardy, adapting well to a wide range of aquarium conditions. Its durable leaves and slow growth make it ideal for aquascapes where long-lasting structure and texture are desired.
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 ‘Insect’ works beautifully in nature-style aquascapes, nano tanks, and shrimp aquariums. Its unusual leaf form adds character and visual interest when attached to driftwood, rocks, or bonsai-style hardscape.
⚠️ 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 shape, size, and number of leaves may vary slightly as these are natural aquatic plants.
