Cabomba growth..

[mcloughlin2]

I think i hav some bushy variety of cabomba an it is growing so quick....

In a month it has grown up to 20cm taller then it was wen i planted it in a new tank and is getting even more bushy!!

I only hav 2 fluro lights on the tank an some of the plants grow up to 2cm a day!!

I hav no co2 system on the tank...so has anyone heard of this???

Cabomba grows very quickly. I looks good in bunches but you have to keep trimming it. I have had it before and it grew at a similar rate as yours.

It grows so quickly, in fact, that it is regarded as a noxious weed.

Some unscrupulous LFS (and/or suppliers to LFS) around these parts have been known to introduce cabomba to creeks so that they can come back and harvest the stuff. You can imagine the bonus wildlife that comes with it!

Lovely plant, though, if you make sure it's well cleaned/quarantined.
