Anubias Barteri 'Minima'

A slender, narrow-leafed Anubias barteri variety with elongated lance-shaped leaves — the most fine-textured and graceful Anubias in the catalog, filling the midground with upright, delicate foliage.

Narrow Lance-Shaped Leaves Fine-Textured Midground Anubias Rhizome Plant — Attach to Hardscape No CO₂ Required Low to Medium Light Shrimp Safe

Anubias Barteri 'Minima' is a variety of Anubias barteri selected for its distinctly narrow, elongated leaf form — long, lance-shaped leaves that taper to a pointed tip rather than the broad, oval-to-heart-shaped leaves of standard barteri and its other varieties. Where Anubias Barteri 'Round Leaf' emphasises breadth and roundness and Anubias Barteri 'Wrinkled' emphasises surface texture, Minima emphasises leaf length and slenderness — producing a Anubias that reads as fine and upright rather than broad and low, and that introduces a distinctly different leaf silhouette into layouts where standard barteri or Nana are already present. The narrow leaves accumulate biofilm along their surfaces and provide the same epiphyte attachment point and low-maintenance shrimp-safe qualities shared by all Anubias in the catalog. Like all Anubias, the rhizome must remain fully above substrate. Fully safe with all Neocaridina, Caridina, and snails.

What to Expect

Leaf Form, Growth & Placement

Long, narrow lance-shaped leaves tapering to a pointed tip — the defining characteristic of Minima versus other barteri varieties is the slender, elongated leaf form — leaves are substantially longer relative to their width than standard barteri, creating a graceful, upright silhouette in the midground that reads as lighter and more fine-textured than the bold, broad-leafed presence of larger Anubias varieties. Each leaf emerges upright and holds that posture through maturity, giving a group of Minima a neat, ordered appearance from the front of the tank. Deep, consistent green that holds under low light without yellowing — like all Anubias, Minima maintains its deep, consistent green colour across a wide range of light levels — from very low light where most plants struggle to remain green, through medium light where growth is optimal. The narrow leaf form means each leaf reflects light slightly differently than broader leaves of the same species, giving individual leaves a slightly more three-dimensional quality under direct overhead or angled lighting. Slow, deliberate growth — each new leaf visible and significant — Anubias adds new leaves at a measured pace — one leaf at a time over weeks. Because each leaf of Minima is narrow and distinct, each new leaf is clearly visible as an addition to the plant. Over months a single rhizome develops into a multi-leafed arrangement with clear structure; over years into a substantial specimen. The slow growth pace means the plant remains manageable indefinitely without trimming — Minima does not outgrow its position. Rhizome must remain fully above substrate at all times — attach to driftwood or stone with cotton thread or super glue gel. The rhizome is the central horizontal stem from which roots descend and leaves emerge — burying it causes rot that will kill the plant. In an established attachment the roots grow into crevices in the hardscape and anchor the plant securely without substrate contact. Biofilm accumulation on narrow leaf surfaces — constant shrimp grazing — the upper and lower surfaces of each leaf develop biofilm that shrimp graze continuously. The narrow, upright form of Minima leaves makes individual shrimp visible as they graze — easier to observe than on the broader leaves of larger Anubias varieties where animals can obscure themselves behind the leaf width.
How to Set It Up

Getting Started

1Attach rhizome to driftwood or stone — do not plant in substrate — secure the rhizome flat against the hardscape surface with cotton thread tied loosely over it at two points, or apply a small dot of super glue gel to the hardscape and press the rhizome onto it. Allow the glue to cure for 60 seconds before submerging. The rhizome should lie horizontally on the hardscape surface with leaves pointing upward and roots hanging downward or into crevices.
2Position in the midground on fine-branched or upright driftwood — the narrow, upright leaf form of Minima suits fine-branched or vertically oriented driftwood where the slender leaves have room to extend upward without being crowded. On broad, horizontal driftwood the narrow leaves may look slightly lost — the plant reads more effectively when the hardscape scale matches the fine scale of the leaves.
3Low to medium light — avoid excessive intensity that promotes algae on leaves — Anubias is susceptible to algae growth on slow-growing leaf surfaces under high light. Position Minima in a zone with lower to medium light — naturally shadowed by taller plants, floating plant cover, or positioned at the sides of the tank away from the fixture centre. Consistent moderate light sustains healthy growth without creating the algae-prone conditions that high light on slow-growing leaves produces.
4Fertilise consistently with liquid formula including iron — balanced liquid fertiliser dosed two to three times weekly supports the steady production of new leaves and maintains the deep green colour of established leaves. Iron is particularly important for the richness of the green — without it new leaves emerge pale and the established colour depth fades over time.
💡 Bonus Tip

Minima attached to a piece of upright driftwood immediately behind a group of Bucephalandra on lower hardscape creates the most effective within-genus Anubias contrast pairing available when combined with standard barteri on adjacent driftwood — the very narrow upright Minima leaves behind, the broad oval barteri leaves to one side, and the iridescent small-leafed Buce in front produce a three-layer midground composition spanning all the key visual variables — leaf width, leaf height, leaf texture, and colour quality — in a single coherent hardscape arrangement.

Policies & Disclaimers

Choosing your portions, using the plant promotion, and knowing what to expect when your plants arrive.

Buy 2 Get 1 Free: add all three

Choose three eligible plant items and add all three to your cart, including the plant you want free. The discount applies automatically at checkout; no code is needed. Adding only two items does not add a third plant for you.

Mix and match eligible varieties or choose multiple quantities of the same eligible plant. The least expensive eligible item is free. For example, with eligible items priced at $5, $8 and $10, the $5 item is discounted and the plant subtotal is $18 before shipping and tax.

The offer repeats for complete qualifying groups: three eligible items give one free, six give two free, and nine give three free. The current offer has no per-order use limit. Items must be included in the promotion; Plant Weights and other non-plant accessories do not qualify.

An item means the sale unit in your cart. One bunch, cup, portion or multipack counts as one item when purchased at quantity one, not one item for every stem, leaf or bulb inside it. Check the listing and selected option for what each unit contains.

Check the discount and quantities in your order summary before paying. Other promotions can affect the final discount; multiple product discounts do not stack on the same item. This is an online checkout offer, not an automatic in-store POS discount.

Plant Promotion Details

Portions, sizes & what you receive

Read this plant’s description and selected option for its sale format, portion size and any stated stem or plant count. A bunch, loose portion, rooted plant, bulb, cup and mounted plant are different products; there is no single size or count that applies to every plant we sell.

A mature height or spread describes potential growth in an aquarium, not the size shipped. Use the advertised purchase portion to plan your order. A full carpet, dense moss-covered surface or established group in a photograph may require several portions and time to grow.

Do not assume that a pot, planting weight, rock, wood, substrate or other display accessory is included unless the listing explicitly says it is. If the received portion appears different from the selected listing, photograph it with its packaging and contact us promptly.

Photos, color & natural variation

Photos illustrate the named plant or variety and its appearance. Living plants vary in leaf size, shape, root development, branching and fullness; a photo of an established specimen is not a measurement of each portion shipped. The product description and selected option remain the reference for your purchase.

Aquarium lighting, camera settings and the growing environment affect perceived color. Red or pink varieties can look different under different lighting and growing conditions. Do not use a photograph alone to select a plant’s care requirements or expect immediate mature coloration.

Above-water growth & the transition underwater

Some aquarium plants can grow with their leaves above water as well as submerged. These growth forms can have different leaf shapes and appearances. New underwater growth may look different from older leaves as the plant adjusts. This explanation does not mean every plant is supplied in the same growth form; follow any specific information in the listing.

Leaf loss or softening after a change of environment is often called melt. Look at the plant as a whole and its growing points rather than judging only one older leaf. Do not assume that a damaged plant is simply transitioning or wait for new growth before reporting an arrival problem.

This is background care information, not a new exclusion from the Live Arrival Guarantee. Arrival damage is assessed under the existing policy.

Planting: match the method to the plant

For stem plants, separate the stems and plant with room between them. For rosette plants, position the roots in the substrate without burying the crown. Remove transport bindings and growing material carefully where appropriate.

For Anubias and Java fern, keep the rhizome exposed rather than burying it. Moss can be divided into smaller portions and attached to suitable hardscape. Floating plants belong at the surface. Bulbs and tubers need species-specific planting depth; do not assume every type should be fully buried.

Keep plants damp while working. Follow the individual listing for placement and care, especially when a plant has unusual requirements. These are planting tips, not additional conditions for a claim.

Growth, tank conditions & choosing companions

Plan for the plant’s mature size, available light and the space it will occupy. A background stem plant, slow-growing rhizome plant and floating plant serve different roles; a purchase portion does not instantly create a finished aquascape.

Use the listing’s guidance on light, nutrients and carbon dioxide rather than assuming every plant needs the same setup. Growth rate and final appearance depend on aquarium conditions and maintenance. More light alone is not a substitute for a balanced setup.

Consider animals that dig, uproot or eat plants before choosing placement. Floating growth can shade plants below it, and fast-growing plants may need thinning. Observe new growth and make gradual, species-appropriate adjustments.

Hitchhikers & introducing plants

Our existing policy does not guarantee pest-free arrival. Plants can carry tiny organisms or eggs, including snail eggs, despite inspection. Inspect new plants before introduction, and consider separate observation or quarantine to protect an established aquarium.

Do not assume a plant is sterile, pesticide-free or safe for a particular treatment unless the listing explicitly provides that information. Sensitive leaves, mosses and roots can respond differently to dips. Research the exact plant and any treatment before using it; do not apply an animal medication or a strong dip by default.

Arrival problems: document and contact us promptly

For damaged or dead plants, email support@superiorshrimpaquatics.com within two hours of the carrier’s recorded delivery time. Use the email address on the order and include all arrival concerns in your first message.

Send clear photographs of the affected plants and their packaging, with the shipping label or invoice visible for identification. Photograph packaging damage before unpacking or discarding materials, and consult the full guarantee’s documentation instructions. Keep the original photos.

The current guarantee covers aquatic plants but excludes promotional or free items. That existing exclusion also matters when ordering a free promotional plant. Claims and available resolutions are assessed under the full policy; this tab does not expand or reduce coverage.

Live Arrival Guarantee
