Cabomba live aquarium plants aquascaping planted tank easy

The Cabomba, also known as the Carolina Fanwort, has feathery green leaves, which are divided into narrow segments. It is a densely growing plant that makes for a wonderful, natural looking background in a planted aquarium. These plants do not tolerate frequent trimming and transplanting please only trim them at least after 3-4 months on your tank to give time the plant to adjust to your water and environment. Leaves dropping from the plant are usually a sign of poor water conditions or CO2 deficiency. Propagate the Cabomba by trimming branches from the main plant, and relocating them in another part of the aquarium. It should be placed in the back or sides of your aquarium in groups for the best appearance.
