Cabomba aquatica
The Cabomba aquatica is a gorgeous fine-leafed stem plant from tropical South America. This aquatic plant comes from sunny, fast flowing to calm, acid, very soft waters. There are different forms of this species, e.g. the reddish “Cabomba schwartzii”, however the customary form has light green leaves. The stems of Cabomba aquatica may get more than one meter long and have pairs of up to 9 cm wide, fan-shaped submerged leaves with fine segments. When the shoots reach the water surface, shield-shaped floating leaves and yellow flowers may appear.
In contrast to the winter-hardy Carolina fanwort Cabomba caroliniana, an invasive species in Europe, the tropical Cabomba aquatica is still allowed to be traded in the European Union. For all kinds of aquarium plants, it must be ensured that they do not enter waters and sewage systems. Dispose aquarium plants via the household waste only.
Cabomba aquatica is a demanding aquarium plant. Strong lighting, soft, flowing water and CO2 addition are important, as well as macro and micronutrient supply on a regular basis. The optimum temperature range lies between 23 and 27 °C. As well as other stem plants, The Giant Cabomba can be propagated by cuttings, it also develops new shoots at the basis of older stems.
This Cabomba looks best in larger, at least 50 cm high tanks, as a group or larger stand in the background to midground. Its light green, filigree foliage contrasts with darker or red, more coarsely textured plants. In open tanks, also its floating leaves and small yellow flowers offer an interesting sight; they may develop when the stems are allowed to grow along the surface.
Cabomba aquatica is a highly variable fanwort originating from the northern and central parts of South America. There are various colour varieties, the most frequently found in trade form of which is a green plant named giant Cambomba.
C. aquatica has up to 8.5 cm long and 9.5 cm wide submersed leaves parted into a great many fine tips. When the sprouts reach the water surface, on its tip widely oval to roundish, shield-shaped floating leaves may form, as well as yellow, mostly two-fold flowers

This compact, green, low-growing Echinodorus cultivar was developed by the plant breeder Christian Iversen from Aquartica company in Denmark. Under aquarium conditions, it forms a spreading rosette of broadly elliptic, medium green leaves with wavy margin. In stark contrast to the many vigorously growing, large swordplants, it is even suited for the foreground and for nano aquariums as it gets only 10-20 cm. Furthermore it grows quite slowly and contents with only moderate light intensity.
This plant is mostly delivered in its emersed (terrestrial) stage, with more roundish, longer stalked leaves. Planted into the aquarium, it will develop its typical submerged growth habit.
Recommendable low-growing Echinodorus cultivar
10-20 cm tall
Medium-green leaves with wavy edge
Also suited for the foreground and nano aquariums
Echinodorus ‘Red Diamond’ was bred in the Ukraine and is probably a cross between Echinodorus horemanni ‘Red’ and Echinodorus x barthii. The resultant hybrid is an attractive, relatively small plant with ruby-red sword-shaped leaves, 15-25 cm long.
Unlike many other sword plants, Echinodorus ‘Red Diamond’ remains moderate in size (20-30 cm wide rosette), so it is extremely well suited as a solitary plant, even in small aquariums. Increasing the nutrients in the substrate results in more abundant growth, while favourable light conditions promote the formation of the ruby-red leaves.

Fissidens fontanus is a delicate feathery dark green aquatic moss clinging to driftwood or rocks with its rhizoids, forming roundish cushions or lawn-like populations. It is also known under the synonym Octodiceras fontanum and in the trade as “Fissidens geppii”. We cultivate two variants of this species, which differ in size when growing in the same environment. The smaller variant is what we call “Phoenix moss”. It develops around 3 to 5 mm long leaflets, is of a somewhat darker green and has an overall more delicate growth habit and looks more compact as it branches more readily than the larger variant.
