Anubias barteri ‘Mini Coin’ is a compact and charming variety of Anubias prized for its perfectly round, coin-shaped leaves that stay small even in maturity. The glossy green foliage grows close together on short stems, forming a dense, bushy cluster ideal for nano tanks or detailed aquascapes. When attached to driftwood or rocks, it creates a natural, miniature jungle look that softens hardscape lines and adds a lush focal point.
This hardy epiphyte thrives in a wide range of aquarium conditions and is nearly indestructible once established. It grows slowly, making it easy to maintain and resistant to algae when kept in low to moderate light. Ideal for both beginners and experienced aquascapers, Anubias ‘Mini Coin’ provides texture and balance in any layout while also serving as gentle cover for shrimp and small fish. Avoid burying the rhizome to prevent rot and ensure long-term health.
Plant Information
Type: Rhizomatous (Epiphyte)
Origin: West Africa
(Widely cultivated in aquaria; derived from Anubias barteri complex.)
Growth Rate: Slow
(Maintains compact form; new leaves emerge gradually.)
Height: 2 – 5 cm
(Remains low and dense; perfect for foreground or nano layouts.)
Light Demand: Low to Medium
(Thrives in shade; brighter light increases leaf density and vibrancy.)
CO₂ Requirement: Low
(Grows well without CO₂ injection; benefits from stable water parameters and nutrient-rich substrate nearby.)
