Freshwater Plants
Anubias Nana (Potted).
Anubias Nana is a compact, slow-growing rhizome plant with thick, dark-green leaves that thrive attached to rock or driftwood. Nearly indestructible and undemanding, it tolerates low light and is ignored by most plant-eating fish, making it a staple for beginners. Sold here as individual potted plants.
In-store purchase only. Live plants are sold at our Erie store for in-store purchase and pickup only. There is no online checkout on this site.

- Local pickup — Erie, PA
We never ship fish, coral, or invertebrates — every animal here is one you meet in person. Each one is acclimated and health-checked in-house before it goes out into the display tanks. This is a species we keep, and what is swimming on any given day changes with the deliveries, so please call (814) 456-9445 before you drive in.

Good tank mates
Safe in virtually any freshwater community and resilient enough to share tanks with cichlids and other plant-nibbling fish.
Good to know
Anubias grows so slowly it can be kept in the same spot for years, and it will even flower underwater.
What is in the tanks and each animal’s temperament vary — call (814) 456-9445 for pairing advice.
