Description

Purple Cabomba, also known as Red Cabomba or Carolina Fanwort, has feathery, green to purple-grey forked leaves, which are divided into narrow segments and offer an interesting texture that will contrast well with other plants and driftwood.

It is an easy plant that works well for fish fry as it provides terrific cover for them.

NOTE: Each bunch is around 4 stems.

Arrived fast and healthy

I wanted something to replace the hornwort (not purchased at WCA) in my tank since it ripped up my betta's fins. I purchased 1 quantity and received 4 'branches' of cabomba. It had the purple hue as shown in the pic. In the 10 days or so I've had it in the tank 2 branches have had new growth. The top leaves open and close with the day/night cycle so that's cool. It's lost the purple coloring but I'm sure that's because of my tank. I don't have a very robust planting system (no C02, no soil. Fluorescent light and natural light) and am new to tank plants. Neat plant, would recommend!
