Anubias Nana 'Golden Coin' is a popular freshwater aquarium plant known for its compact size and striking golden-green leaves. It is a variety of the Anubias barteri species, prized for its aesthetic appeal and ease of care. Here are some key details about it:

Characteristics:

  • Leaf Color: Light green to golden, with a rounded or slightly oval shape, resembling a "coin."
  • Growth Habit: Compact and slow-growing, making it suitable for smaller tanks or as a foreground/midground plant.
  • Size: Typically grows 5–15 cm (2–6 inches) in height.
  • Rhizome: Thick and hardy, which stores nutrients and anchors the plant.

Care Requirements:

  • Lighting: Low to medium; excessive light can lead to algae growth on its leaves.
  • Substrate: Not necessary; it is typically attached to rocks, driftwood, or other decorations. Burying the rhizome in substrate can cause rot.
  • CO2 Requirements: Optional; thrives in non-CO2-injected tanks but will grow more robustly with CO2.
  • Water Parameters:
    • Temperature: 22–28°C (72–82°F)
    • pH: 6.5–7.5
    • Hardness: Soft to medium hard
  • Growth Rate: Slow; requires occasional pruning to prevent overgrowth.

Placement in Tank:

  • Can be placed in the foreground or midground depending on the tank's size.
  • Its golden leaves add a beautiful contrast to darker or greener plants.

Propagation:

  • Propagated by cutting the rhizome. Ensure each piece has at least a few leaves and roots before replanting.

Ideal Tank Setup:

  • Works well in low-tech or high-tech aquariums.
  • Perfect for aquascapes and biotope setups due to its resilience and decorative appeal.
