Cabomba?

[gupman]

Does cabomba always grow roots out of the stems when planted or is there something am doing?

Not always, but mine do that too. I usually snip below the roots and plant the new plant. The one you snipped it from will grow again. It's to the point now that I need to replant my tank because they are taking over.

they are growing roots from several places on the stems doesnt look that great...

It's only a ten gallon.

Maybe i shouold find another plant to take its place? Any suggestions?

Bacopa? Hygrophila? Rotala?

Hornwort looks, behaves similar to cabomba, but I haven't had it drop roots like that. Grows like a weed. you can float it or plant it.

---and it's cheap. even cheaper if you buy a big bunch from a pond place.
