Java Fern & Anubias Bundle – 2 Live Aquarium Plants

Java Fern & Anubias Bundle – 2 Live Aquarium Plants

Build an easy low-light aquascape with two of the most dependable freshwater aquarium plants. This bundle includes 1 live Java Fern and 1 live Anubias, giving you two hardy rhizome plants that can be attached to driftwood, rock, or aquarium décor.

Java Fern and Anubias are especially popular in shrimp tanks and beginner aquariums because neither plant needs to be buried in nutrient-rich substrate. Their firm leaves create durable cover and biofilm-rich surfaces while their slow, controlled growth makes maintenance simple.

Why Java Fern and Anubias Work So Well Together

• Excellent low-light combination for beginner planted aquariums.
• No nutrient substrate required because both are rhizome plants.
• Easy hardscape attachment to rock, wood, and aquarium décor.
• Shrimp-friendly leaves provide grazing and resting surfaces.
• Slow, manageable growth means less trimming and maintenance.

Use this pair as the foundation of a low-tech shrimp tank or combine it with other species from our live aquarium plants collection.

How to Plant Java Fern and Anubias

Rather than burying them like a rooted stem plant, secure each rhizome to a rock or piece of driftwood using aquarium-safe thread, gel cyanoacrylate glue, or a natural crevice. Over time, the roots will anchor to the hardscape.

Keeping the rhizome exposed is one of the most important steps for long-term success. A buried rhizome can soften and rot.

Ideal Plants for Shrimp Aquariums

Java Fern and Anubias are excellent companions for freshwater shrimp. Mature leaves gather biofilm and fine organic particles, creating natural grazing areas without requiring intense lighting or frequent trimming.

For a simple planted display, combine this bundle with Fire Red Cherry Shrimp for strong color contrast.
