An excellent, easy, beginner little plant.
Anubias Nana 'Petite' is one of the smallest little Anubias types. It should be placed in the front, as it will stay small and reproduce through lateral nodes. Slow growing, but you'd eventually be able to break off sections for a new plant.
As an epiphyte, Anubias should not be completely buried in the substrate, as it will rot. Simply anchor a few roots in, no more than a quarter inch deep. These are also great for gluing to driftwood and rocks!
Looking for the version that comes already growing on a Lava rock?
Anubias are hardy and slow-growing. Perfect for tough livestock such as goldfish and certain cichlids. Tolerates lower light, and is pretty difficult to kill in my opinion!
One thing to note: As Anubias are slow growers, algae growth can be a concern. Just keep an eye on your parameters, and put your lights on a little plug-in timer. Six hours of light is plenty.
Potted specimen is rooted and established, with several shoots. Plant is 1-3" tall.

As I like to keep real ecosystems in my aquariums, there's always the possibility of harmless snail or dwarf shrimp hitchhikers!
