Tie to a stone or root. Easy to care for and undemanding.
The dwarf spear leaf, as it is known by its German trade name, is one of the most popular aquarium plants of all. It is an excellent foreground plant that requires very little care. When planting, attention must be paid to the rhizome. This thickened shoot must not be covered with substrate. The small Anubias grows best when tied up on stones and roots (see Mbuna trees on page 78). The dwarf spear leaves are very often used for cichlids from Lake Malawi and Lake Tanganyika. Here they look particularly decorative between the stone structures.

Einsteigerpflanze
Die Verbreitung der Schwertpflanzen erstreckt sich von den USA bis nach Argentinien. Die E. argentinensis gehört zu den größer werdenden Arten und benötigt genügend Platz in einer Unterwasserlandschaft. Für offene Aquarien ist sie sehr gut geeignet, ihre kräftigen Blätter über Wasser sehen dekorativ aus. Mit etwas Geduld bilden sich auch Blütentriebe mit weißen Blüten. Nährstoffreicher Bodengrund und eine mittlere bis gute Beleuchtung sind notwendig.
Anubias Barteri Nana 'Petite'
Anubias Barteri Nana 'Petite' is a very small, uniformly filigree Anubias variety. Selection has resulted in a miniature form that is ideal for nano aquariums.Difficulty of cultivation: easy Light requirement: low CO₂ requirement: low Height of the adult plant: up to 5 cm Growth slow Temperature: 20-30 °C Placement in aquarium: In the foreground Origin: cultivation 6 cm cup diameter Anubias barteri is a succulent green plant of the rhizome family, naturally native to the swamps of Cameroon and Nigeria, growing in fast-flowing waters. It can grow both under and above water. "Petite" is a selected cultivar of Anubias barteri. This species does not occur in nature in such a miniature form. Consistent selection by Singapore botanists has resulted in a delicate, compact version of Anubias barteri for nano-aquariums. The variety is rarely seen in the trade and represents a kind of rarity. The plant has a rhizome that forms roots that strongly entwine the area in which it is planted. It is therefore ideal for planting on roots or rocks, such as volcanic lava.The very decorative, tiny, heart-shaped leaves are stiff and fleshy, shiny on the surface and have a velvety texture on the underside. At the same time, they are very hard and stiff, so herbivorous fish are not interested in them. The height of this miniature plant is less than 5 cm. Therefore, it is well suited for the foreground. However, it can also be used for eye-catching trees in the background. Under good conditions, it can produce a delicate white flower. Anubias Barteri Nana 'Petite' can handle a variety of temperatures. It can thrive in cooler tanks as well as in warm, tropical aquariums with discus fish, for example. It likes water with a pH of 5.5-8.0, up to 15 ° dH. it prefers weak, diffuse lighting, reaching more like 0.3 W/l. In case of prolonged and intense lighting, it may become overgrown with algae. Therefore, it is advisable to plant it in darker or even shaded areas of the tank. The plant does not like neglected aquariums, it prefers water that is changed regularly and does not leave dirt on its leaves. It grows slowly, but forms a very attractive shape, especially when it grows in a group to form a green, decorative clump. It is very comfortable in tanks with low water levels and looks great in nano aquariums. Therefore, it is a popular plant for many aquascapers. With it can create very interesting miniature compositions. It also does well in aquariums with cichlids and other herbivorous fish. It is often used in shrimp tanks and nano aquariums for fighting fish. It does not require special care, it is enough to remove older leaves, which stimulates the rhizome to form offshoots. If you want to get new cuttings, you can divide the rhizome into 2-3 cm long sections from time to time. To attach the Anubias to roots or stones, it is enough to use very thin string, thread or special glue for fixing aquarium plants.
Planting: The plant must be removed from the cup and thoroughly rinsed from the gel under running water. This is best done by placing the plant in a container of lukewarm water. Most of the gel will then fall off by itself.

Hinweise
Erst vor kurzem wurde diese Neuheit korrekt bestimmt - ihr bisheriger Name H. spec. Araguaia ist nicht mehr gültig. Die Pflanze ist kleinwüchsig und bildet unter Wasser rotbraune schmale Blätter aus. Teilweise wächst sie sogar kriechend über den Bodengrund. Emers kultiviert zeigt sie häufig kleine, blauviolette Blüten. Bei guter Beleuchtung und guter CO2-Zugabe wachsen die Pflanzen deutlich besser. Die neue Hygrophila wirkt sehr zart und kommt erst in einer größeren Gruppe gut zur Geltung. Im Nano Cube reichen aber schon einige wenige Stängel als Farbtupfer.
