Purple Cabomba (Cabomba pulcherrima) is a delicate and visually striking aquatic plant known for its fine, feathery leaves and vibrant purple or reddish hues. It is a popular choice for background placement in aquascapes, adding a soft, flowing texture to the tank.
1. Light requirements: Requires moderate to high lighting to maintain its purple coloration and dense growth. In lower light conditions, it may become leggy, with less intense coloration.
2. Water parameters:
- Temperature: Prefers a range of 72 to 82Β°F (22 to 28Β°C).
- pH level: Grows best in slightly acidic to neutral water, with a pH range of 6.0 to 7.5.
- Hardness: Tolerates soft to moderately hard water.
3. Substrate and placement:
- Does not require a nutrient-rich substrate, as it absorbs nutrients primarily from the water column.
- Can be planted in the substrate or left floating. If planted, ensure the stems are gently anchored in fine-grain substrate to prevent damage.
4. Nutrients and CO2:
- Fertilization: Benefits from regular liquid fertilization, particularly with iron, to enhance its purple hues.
- CO2 supplementation: Strongly recommended to promote healthy, fast growth and vibrant coloration.
5. Pruning and maintenance:
- Grows rapidly under optimal conditions, so regular trimming is necessary to prevent overgrowth.
- Pruning encourages bushier growth and prevents lower portions of the plant from decaying due to shading.
- Remove any decaying leaves to maintain water quality.
6. Propagation:
- Propagates easily through stem cuttings. Simply cut a healthy portion of the stem and replant it into the substrate, where it will develop roots.
7. Special considerations:
- Can be sensitive to sudden water parameter changes, so stable conditions are ideal.
- Algae may grow on its fine leaves if nutrients and lighting are not well-balanced.
- Some herbivorous fish may nibble on it, so be cautious when housing with plant-eating species.
With proper lighting, CO2, and regular trimming, Purple Cabomba can be a stunning addition to an aquarium, providing movement, color contrast, and a natural, flowing aesthetic.
Perhaps the best store on island to get freshwater fish. They have a huge variety, including higher end freshwater fish (discus, puffers, flowerhorns , oddballs, ect) Iβve stocked a few tanks with their fish. They quarantine well and keep it real on how their fish are doing in shop.

Had a great experience here. I was looking for a unicorn/alicorn betta and spoke with the owner, Josh, about it. I ended up using his fish importing services to import a fish from Jakarta, and he brought in a few more white opaque or unicorn type half moon bettas too, to add to the variety in store. I got a sneak peak of the store while it was shut down for one week for a proper quarantine of its new fish. The owner knows his fish and keeps them healthy. A very different experience from a Petco or PetSmart! A Petco employee even recommended I go here for more unique betta fish. Note that they carry other types of fish too, plus Aquatic plants and some aquarium equipment. Pictured are some of the giant bettas, the alicorn betta, and i believe a beautiful ram.

The owner, Josh, is not just knowledgeable about the fish, but also plants and tank issues. I am new to fish tanks and he has been extremely helpful in answering my questions and offering suggestions to make my experience easier. Parking is a bit tricky, but certainly worth it.

They have rare plants you can't find at most places. Got lucky we got a few; my husband is happy. This is one of his favorite places. They get pretty busy, so be patient. The staff are very helpful.
