my planted "nano"

i looked for those mini anubias for a long time. Most LFS's looked at me like i was stupid when i tryed to explain what they were. They kept trying to tell me that anubias nana was the "petite nana".I finally broke down and bought them from Robert @ http://www.aquabotanic.com. Everything ran smooth with my order and i would not hesitate to order from him again.
BTW, everyone has room for a little 2.5, and besides its a he** of alot easier than doing water changes on my 180.

i love small tanks. your setup looks great!
that driftwood does look very peculiar, look almost like cork. and the nana looks nice. maybe you can stick a few submersible plants in there to make use of the open top.

hmm.. i never even thought about that nvision. any suggestions on submersible plants that don't get big. LOL, its only 2.5 gal. 
I really like the look of that tank. Looks very small, nice and peaceful. Would you guys say a small tank is a lot less work and easier to maintain plants?
Hey, that s great! Its nice to see pics of people using those little petite nanas!
They are imported from the Orient and I belive this cultivar was developed in Europe. It is still very rare to see this plant in the USA. Most stores would think you are crazy. The full grown size of these Anubias leaves are not much bigger than Glossostigma!!
I just sent some to Karen Randall, so maybe she will write about them and make them better known to the public.
Next time try Red Cherry shrimp instead of amanos, they seem much less sensitive,

robert, i tried red cherry's but my betta thinks they are really tasty. LOL. I ordered the shrimp at the same time as the petite nana cause i thought it would look cool with the red cherry's and the black sand, but the ol' betta liked his new home so much he didn't want to share.
submersible plant
poormanisme, try hygrophilia stricta. it's a hardy plant with a woody stem. just stick 1-2 stalks in the tank for a nice clean layout and let it grow out. in time, it might even produce nice purplish flowers for you.

i know this is really digging a thread out of the grave, but i thought i'd do that rather than start a whole new thread. anyway, my question is how fast do those anubias petite's grow?
