I'm so sick with myself!

I've had a beautiful anubias nana growing for almost 3 years. It's on a beautiful piece of manzita driftwood. Well, I thought it would like even more amazing in my new shrimp tank. Not even 24 hours later the leaves started falling off. I quickly put it back in the original tank, and now 48 hours after the orginal move, I have nothing left but a few stems.

Do you think that it will survive?

stranger things have happened. if it does it will take a good bit of time, though. not sure if it's possible without any leafs though.

i had a ver. nana that i cut in half by tightening thread around it too much. i was left with 2 pieces of mush, each with 1 leaf. fast forward a couple years and one piece has ~2 dozen leafs and is giving my broad leaf a run for it's money size wise and the other looks like ver. petite with a half dozen leafs. they're much more resilient than thay're given credit for. to re-iterate... without leafs... i could not tell you for sure.

From what I have heard, java fern and Anubias spp. can regrow without any leaves as long as the rhizome is intact and green. I know first hand, as I had a java fern in my first setup. Soon after buying it, every single leaf fell off, but over the next couple months, I would see it attempting to regrow leaves before I removed it. So yeah, it may regrow for you.
Best of luck,
Jake

What they said. Different conditions probably shocked it.
