Hallo!

I have introduced some cabomba, and so far, it's thriving (and Banjo & Ito are being good and not gobbling up all of it). Is there a specific type of substrate I should be using to ensure healthy growth or is it OK in rocks?

Thanks ;-)

I just plonked mine into ordinary gravel substrate and it thrived; I had to keep cutting it back because it grew so fast! lol.GIF

The only thing cabomba really likes is lots of light. It also prefers slightly warmer temps, ideally mid 70's. smile.gif

Yay! Hopefully I'll have a jungle in there in no time tongue.gif

I just threw mine into gravel as well.
Cabomba is one of the easiest plants to grow, so it should thrive in your tank:)
