Cabomba

they usually lose bottom leaves due to lack of enough light, growing to closely to one another, or lack of proper nutrients in the water.
You can prune the tops and replant them, but their growth will slow for a week until they adjust.

well the bottom leaves are falling off, the tops are growing and sprouting myre and more stems and growing more leaves

so should i prune or shouldnt

to be or not to be that is the question

Yes, prune away, and discard the bare bottom portions, planting the portion you cut off, if you get me.
