Carolina Fanwort, Green Cabomba
Cabomba caroliniana
Cabomba is a very common and beautiful aquarium plant that is great
for beginner aquariums!
Cabomba will root if the shoots are buried in the gravel. The stems
will grow up to 50 cm (20 in) and so in an aquarium they will need to be
trimmed periodically. They are also easily propagated by simply planting
cuttings from the present plants. Cabomba will do great in almost any
aquarium environment, including harder water and minimal light. However,
the brighter the light the better it will grow.
