Aquascapers looking to add sleek, lance-like foliage without overcrowding a small setup will fall in love with Anubias Congensis Mini. Offering a remarkably compact footprint at just 2 to 5 inches tall, this epiphyte scales down the classic slender look of Anubias Congensis into a bite-sized package. Its deep green, oblong leaves taper elegantly at the tips, providing a smooth visual transition when nestled around intricate driftwood branches or rugged rock formations. Beginner-friendly and nearly indestructible, this miniature powerhouse thrives equally well fully submerged in aquariums or emersed in humid terrariums.

1. How do I plant Anubias Congensis Mini?
Attach the plant directly to driftwood or rocks using aquarium-safe super glue gel, thread, or fishing line. Keep the rhizome above the substrate to prevent rot.
2. Does it require CO2 or high lighting?
No. It is a classic low-light plant that thrives without specialized CO2 equipment. While added CO2 will speed up growth and foliage density, it thrives happily in low-tech aquariums.
3. Is this plant safe for shrimp, snails, and fish?
Yes, Anubias is 100% safe for all freshwater fish, shrimp (including sensitive Caridina and Neocaridina), and snails. Its tough leaves are also resistant to plant-eating fish like cichlids or goldfish.

"I received 3 plants in this 1 pot each has about 7 or so healthy green leaves. Very happy with the purchase."
"I don’t believe I’ve ever left a review on something like this, but Buce Plant has earned a good review with how many things they’ve successfully shipped me over the years. I was very happy with this order. I needed some dwarf sag for a friend’s tank, and the three bundles I ordered came in looking fantastic. They were very healthy and had excellent roots. The Anubias Congensis ‘Mini’ I ordered for myself really surprised me with how pristine and undamaged it was. It came with two plants in the pot, and they were both very healthy. Each had new leaves coming in. Every order I’ve gotten from them has been this good."
"Leafy, green specimens Generous amounts Much appreciated"
"I've ordered several aquarium plants from Buce and they all arrive super quickly, super healthy, and thrive in my aquariums"
"Very nice plant that was not destroyed in shipping"
"Top notch plants. They look good in my aquarium"
"I received this Anubias Congensis with my first order. It arrived so healthy with amazing root growth inside the rock wool. Even though the roots had grown so much inside the rock wool. I found it easy to clean off and have had very little dieback. The leaves are a beautiful green with thick healthy rhizomes. No Algae or pest snails on any of the plants I ordered. I will definitely be ordering from Buce again. Amazing plants. Thanks so much guys!☺️"
