Like the title says, I have a HUGE lot (about a gallon bucket full) of Cabomba and a few other plants. Priority mail shipping - total of $28 delivered. Paypal gladly accepted.

Here's a pic of a small amount of it:

Bump, this alone could easily decorate a 40+ gallon tank! Cheap starter for param control!

Are you 100% sure its cabomba and not limnophila sessiflora?

It's mostly cabomba, but as the title says, ("and a few other plants"), well there is some Sessiflora in with the Red Temple, and Repens in the collection. Easily would totally aquascape at least a 40 gallon, but likely a bigger tank than that! Fast starter package or a nice add on for those of us with many tanks...

Price drop - $20 delivered. I need to get it out of here before hubby's shoulder surgery this coming Monday when I won't have time to mess with it. I'm betting you could do a 55 gallon tank with this huge collection of plants!

What kind of lighting is required?

Cabomba is a lower light plant

Sale is pending at the moment...

All my plants are grown in high lighting with CO2, but that doesn't mean it's mandatory. Just means they grow faster and more colorful (the plants OTHER than cabomba) with higher lighting.

How do you tell the difference in Limnophila Sessiflora and Cabomba?

Here's plant profiles, hopefully this will help you more:

Sessiflora: http://www.plantedtank.net/forums/myplants/72-Asian_Ambulia_Limnophila_sessiliflora.html

Cabomba: http://www.plantedtank.net/forums/myplants/43-Carolina_Fanwort_Cabomba_caroliniana.html

They are very similar, but unless I have been sold a plant by the wrong name, my sessiflora is more of a purplish color (high lighting remember)...

Looks like the $8 drop created a frenzy! I am now out of the cabomba (except those of you who have been PM'ed), but would like to find new homes for some of my Red Temple plants that need some TLC. I don't know if it's my lighting, my ph, my fish, or what, but they look a little worse for wear. I think that they can make a lovely comeback, but honestly with trying to empty out and tear down two more tanks, I really don't have the interest or the time. So that said, they're basically free. $20 covers packing, the styro box, and priority mail shipping for at least 3 stems (depends on the "clump" as to how many exactly), but at least 3 of them. I hope this will be as popular as the cabomba has been today.

All sold. MODS, you can close this thread if you would like. Thanks all!

Well after TWO people said they wanted it, neither have paid. So I have a nice size TAIL END of my cabomba. When this last bit is gone, it's forever gone from my home. I've grown tired of this plant and ready to change aquascapes, so it's all out. You know those plastic bins that you get in the hospital to barf in? Well it completely fills one of those. Plus I'll throw in a couple of extra surprises. BUT I need it paid for asap. I want to ship it out on Monday because next week is going to be too crazy for me to ship out later on...
