Anubias Mini Coin is an absolute dream for nano enthusiasts, and as the name implies, it is right on the money if you love tiny details. This diminutive variety features exceptionally small, vibrant green leaves that look almost like miniature clovers or the highly sought-after Bucephalandra Mini Coin. It grows slowly under low light, tolerates a wide range of water parameters, and thrives submerged in aquariums or emersed in humid terrariums.
Tissue Culture cups ensure your aquascape gets a super clean starting point. Lab‑grown and fully sterile, it arrives without pests, snails, duckweed, or any unwanted algae. It’s the go‑to option for anyone who wants peace of mind when adding fresh greenery to a carefully maintained setup.

"I feel like im being very generous with three stars. Second time I’ve been disappointed by Buce plants, so I dont think there will be a third chance. I gave the three stars because the plants seem to be healthy so far. Its hard to estimate size based on the website photos with nothing for scale but based on the photos i was not expecting such tiny plants. The package was also in no way marked which way was up so all the plants were tossed around in the gel. Photo advertised vs photo of what I received."
"I absolutely love these plants. They are so cute and the perfect size to attach to hardscape. They always come in great condition and are a lovely vibrant green that looks really nice in most scapes. Quality is a ten out of ten!"
"these are great little plants. I have them in a small waterfall paludarium and they are thriving (at least they would be if my isopods werent chomping on them)"
"Plants were received in excellent shape. They are now in my new 60U aquascaped aquarium, looking great so far! Always the highest quality from Buceplant!"
"Buceplants never disappoint. Great quality plants"
"I bought 18 plants & tissue cultures. All arrived in outstanding condition. They've been in the tank for two-weeks now and all are thriving. Thank you!"
"Great healthy"
"My second time ordering from Buce and my second time being completely satisfied with the condition of my order. I also panicked when my complex put my package elsewhere and the support from Buce was incredible. These plants look great, are so fresh, healthy, well packed, and a great quality. The leaves were all intact, with new growth coming in."
"This tiny plant has become my favorite anubias types. It works incredibly well in my nano tanks and shows better growth than all my other types of anubias. I cannot recommend it enough to fans of this species."
"Plants came in great shape. Doing well after a week!"
