nubias nana ‘Golden’ is a hardy, slow-growing aquarium plant known for its striking light green to golden-yellow leaves. Here’s what makes it stand out:

Appearance

• Leaves are smaller and rounder than many other Anubias varieties.

• Color ranges from lime green to golden yellow, especially under good lighting.

• Grows from a rhizome, with leaves emerging in a compact rosette form.

Size & Growth

• Typically stays 5–10 cm (2–4 inches) tall and spreads slowly.

• Ideal for foreground or midground placement in aquariums.

Care Requirements

• Low to moderate light — too much light can cause algae on leaves, but the golden hue is more vibrant under medium light.

• No CO₂ injection necessary, but it benefits from stable water conditions.

• Grows best attached to driftwood, rocks, or decorations (burying the rhizome in substrate can cause rot).

• Extremely hardy — tolerates a wide range of pH (6.0–8.0) and temperatures (20–30°C / 68–86°F).

Special Notes

• Very popular in aquascaping for its color contrast against darker green plants.

• Great choice for beginners or low-maintenance tanks.

• Can flower underwater, producing small white spathe-like blooms.
