Question about Cabomba caroliniana

[Talvari]

I was looking to get Cabomba caroliniana for my 55 gallon tank. I was told at a small mom and pop shop that it was pretty easy to care for as long as you use the right lights and the right liquid fertilizer. I was told that it is not necessary to have CO2 with it.

Does anyone have any experience with this plant, and does anyone on the forums sell it?

I have had it in two of my tanks. It did good in high light. I've always dosed at least excel if not DIY co2.

You should be great. Space between leaf sets is an indicator of adequate/insufficient light. Also, if leaves fall off without reason it should be another tell tale of nutrient deficiency or lack of light.
