Anubias
Minima can be kept in most any planted aquarium. Beginners or experts;
be ready to add this to your tank. Sand, gravel, dirt, or decorative
stones can be used to grow Anubias Minima. Minima can grow in a shade
tank with very low lighting or a bright tank with metal halides.
Unlike
the more common Nana or Barteri, Anubias Minima has long slender leaves
that add outstanding contrast to your aquarium masterpiece. Minima is a
great mid ground plant. Generally the leaves can reach 6-8 inches in
length once the plant is established and stand 8 inches tall. Like other
Anubias, Minima keeps a beautiful green color and is adabtable to a ph
varying from 7.0 to as high as 9.0.
Anubias Minima can be housed
in an aquarium with or without the use of fertilizers. Without iron and
CO2, anubias grows at a slow rate of around one leaf per month. When you
start adding nutrients you need to be careful of algae on the leaves,
but at the right balance you can achieve growth of two or more leaves
per month.
For those of you who want plants but only have old
burnt out T-12s, you will be able to keep this plant alive and growing
slowly. For others who have crazy high light output you can grow this
plant at a faster rate. However, in high light I would recommend placing
Minima under larger plants that can provide some shade. I would not put
any Anubias in direct high lighting as it is generally a slow grower
and the leaves last for years. You do not want algae covering leaves for
as long as they are in the tank. (I personally have some species with
leaves that are over four years old still without a spec of algae)
Anubias
Minima is a great plant with slender leaves like a sword, but the
durability to handle varying tank types. Act fast if you want to get
this plant in your tank!
