Anubias Pangolino
Anubias barteri var. nana 'Pangolino'
Plantae›Tracheophyta›Magnoliopsida›Alismatales›Araceae
📍 West Africa
One of the tiniest Anubias varieties — even smaller than Petite. Leaves only 5–8 mm (0.20–0.31 in). Perfect for nano aquascapes and detail work.
Tank Mates
Gentle algae grazers that won't damage delicate leaves; beneficial for tank maintenance
Small, peaceful shrimp that won't uproot or consume the plant; ideal nano tank companion
Peaceful algae eaters that respect plants and thrive in similar low-light conditions
Tiny, peaceful fish perfect for nano setups; won't disturb attached plants
Excellent companion plant with similar care requirements and growth rate
Compatible foreground plant that creates layered aquascaping with Pangolino
Common Diseases
Algae Overgrowth
Green or brown algae coating leaves, reduced light penetration, plant appearance dulled
Reduce lighting duration to 6–8 hours daily, increase water changes, add algae-eating shrimp or fish, manually remove visible algae
Nutrient Deficiency
Yellowing or pale leaves, stunted growth, leaf holes or necrosis
Introduce liquid all-in-one fertilizer at recommended dose; ensure adequate macro and micronutrients; check water parameters for imbalances
Rhizome Rot
Soft, blackened rhizome; foul odor; leaves detaching or turning mushy
Ensure rhizome is not buried in substrate; improve water circulation; perform partial water changes; remove affected portions if necessary
Poor Attachment
Plant drifting or floating; rhizome exposed; difficulty establishing in hardscape
Use fishing line or plant weights to secure rhizome firmly to rock or wood; avoid burying the rhizome; ensure gentle water flow
