The Cabomba is a beautiful aquatic plant with long feathery fronds that will float freely through the water. It’s a dense plant that adds a touch of nature to any aquarium.
If the water conditions aren’t correct, the Cabomba will begin to lose it’s leaves. Frequently transplanting or trimming the plant can kill it or cause it to look really bad until it gets stabilized again.
This tall flowing plant makes a good back drop and also works well at the ends of the tank. Propagation is easy, just trim off some of the branches and place them in another section of the aquarium!
