'Mini Coini' is a really tiny selection of Anubias barteri var. nana. It is still very rare in trade. This plant has round leaf blades similar to 'Round Leaf' aka 'Coin Leaf'. However, they do not exceed a length of 1 cm and are mostly even smaller when they grow under water. This Anubias has a very compact growth habit by intense branching of the rhizome. The leaves are dark to medium green.
As well as other forms of the Dwarf Anubias, 'Mini Coin' has little demands. However, this very slowly growing epiphyte thrives best with complete macro- and micronutrient supply via the water column. CO2 addition is not essential but very beneficial for its growth. The plant needs little light, but with good nutrient supply, it also grows with strong lighting. Especially young plants from in Vitro cups establish best in already cycled, well running aquariums. This dwarfish Anubias can be fastened to hardscape materials such as rock and driftwood as well as fixed to the ground. For the latter, the rhizome must not be buried to prevent it from rotting. The plant is easily propagated by cuttings of single shoots or splitting of the whole clump.
Anubias barteri var. nana 'Mini Coin' stands out among the very small Anubias forms by its round leaf shape and compact, bushy growth. With its tiny size, it is especially suited for nano tanks but also provides interesting possibilities for the hardscape design of larger aquariums. For example, the depth effect can be enhanced by arranging it behind Anubias with similarly shaped, but larger leaves.
