Frequently Asked Questions
Is Anubias Marble easy to grow?
Yes. Anubias Marble is hardy and grows in low light without CO₂, so beginners can keep it. It grows slower than green Anubias and recovers slowly from mistakes. Keep the light gentle, keep water conditions steady and never bury the rhizome.
Does Anubias Marble need CO₂?
No. Anubias Marble grows well with no CO₂ and only low to moderate light. CO₂ and liquid fertiliser can speed growth a little. Keep the light gentle, because strong light causes algae on the pale leaf areas.
How do I plant Anubias Marble?
Never bury the rhizome. Attach Anubias Marble to driftwood or rock with cotton thread or aquarium-safe super-glue gel, leaving the rhizome exposed — its roots usually start to grip the surface within 3–6 weeks.
Is Anubias Marble safe for shrimp and fish?
Yes. Anubias Marble is safe for shrimp tanks and community aquariums. Give it a gentle rinse before adding it to your tank.
How is Anubias Marble shipped across India?
It is packed by hand and sent by courier anywhere in India for a flat ₹99, free on orders of ₹999 or more. If it arrives dead, send one continuous unboxing video within 4 hours of delivery on WhatsApp or email and we refund or replace it.
Why is Anubias so expensive?
Anubias grows very slowly, about one new leaf every 2–3 weeks, so each plant takes months to reach selling size. Variegated types like Marble grow even slower because their cream patches have less chlorophyll. A rhizome can be cut into new plants only after it grows long with several leaves, so supply stays low. Common green Anubias Nana is still affordable, from ₹90. See how fast Anubias grows.
What is the rarest Anubias?
The rarest Anubias in India today are variegated forms such as Marble, Panda and Stardust. They start as chance mutations, grow very slowly and are multiplied in small numbers. Rarity changes over time: Pinto was once among the rarest but is now easy to buy. Compare prices and stock in our rare Anubias guide.
Which Anubias is best for an aquarium?
For most aquariums, Anubias Nana is the best pick. Its 3–5 cm leaves suit small and large tanks, and it grows in low light without CO₂. Choose Nana Petite for nano and shrimp tanks, Glabra or Var King for big tanks, and Marble as a slow-growing feature plant in the midground. Compare all 16 types in our Anubias plant types guide.
