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.
