I have a ten gallon tank with a fifteen watt lighting, a 20 gallon with 65 watts, and a 55 gallon with 112 watts, all with CO2 injection and employing pellet spot fertlization. In all three tanks the plant looks orange, just as in the picture above. It is not green. Sometimes near the top of the tank, under 65 watts of lighting, it can also become a bright reddish color. It also requires constant pruning as it is a very hardy plant and very fast growing.

Not Red |

Tyler (below) is correct. Not same species. The Red Cabomba grows a little differently than the others and is exceptionally difficult compared to the others as well. I ordered 2 bunches, one arrived DOA, but the other was so full and tall I made it into 3 plantings (3 groups of 3.) It is growing fast and strong, and the dark green color is fantastic. It's my darkest plant.
Ordered a dozen different plants, 2 were DOA, 2 died shortly after, but the rest were all gorgeous and bigger/fuller than expected. Death may be due to 2 day shipping instead of overnight.

R. Cabomba-VERY FAST Growing & Strong |

Not truly red, but moreso tinged at the tops.
With my continued experience with this plant I have found it to be extremely hardy and not delicate in the least bit.
This comes in bunches, is an extremely fast grower (I'd compare the growth rate to that of a weed) and can quickly overtake the tank if you replant your prunings. Definate good filler if your strapped for cash, but want a fully planted look to your tank.
Even in a 90g I was constantly needing to prune this plant back, apparently my low pH and moderately high lighting made an ideal environment for this plant, which by the way is a definate background plant.
Looks very nice in groups and my inhabitants loved swimming between and within the clusters of it and did not eat it (community tank).

This plant takes root fast and grows tall, so it will look nice and full in the background. It has lovely white flowers and a purple tint to its dark lush green foliage. Execellent addition to any tank.

Not purple at all but DARK GREEN |

The plant pictured is likely not this same species, but probably Cabomba furcata.
This plant is very dark green with light purple on the underside of the leaves. It was very easy to grow, but I wanted a redish plant and what I got was dark green. And what grew for a month was green so I pulled it.
I recommend the furcata to anyone who can get their hands on it and not this one unless you want something dark green.
