Hi every one

is red cabomba legal to keep in NZ?

I believe so, it was around over 30 years ago.

if you can get some I want it!!!

mmmm sounds cool. i like red varieties they seem to be rarer like red tiger lotus. suppose it's cuz it's harder to grow/needs more light

if you can get some I want it!!!

seconded!

saw the red beauty at Mt roskill HHF last weekend.

I must walk around that shop with my eyes closed half of the time - I seem to miss everything good thats in there.

check out the display planted tank

It does need good light.

hmmm im not to sure cant recall seeing it Im sure what i saw was ambulia and with the bright light goes red thats what mine does anyway?

no you are right it is in fact red cabomba I rang and asked to buy at least one inch of clipping and they said no! :evil: one inch :roll: ???

has anyone got any that are WILLING to sell to me just a really small clipping

Crikey! You'd expect them to be trimming it all the time. They probably just throw the bits out - I think I feel a dumpster-diving session coming on

When plants become scarce, particularly red ones, it is because they are not easy to grow.

They won't sell it to me either

They won't sell it to me either

LOL I wonder how many calls they've had in the last 24 hours beginning "you know that red cobomba in your display tank..."

They'll start to think we're talking about them :lol:

time to bring out the big $$

They'll start to think we're talking about them :lol:

Well aren't you guys talking about them... :lol: Them and their untouchable Red Cabomba :lol:

wonder if theyl swap for my dull coloured guppies or gambusia I should say :lol: they are a stunning specimen and good for begginers :lol:

Maybe we should organise a mass calling and asking of Cabomba. They will get so sick of us all calling they'll decide to sell some cuttings just to shut us up!

It would be excellent publicity for the shop. They could have a two-day event where they sell 2cm cuttings for $2 each for every $20 spent in the shop. Then they could have a cobomba-growing contest where you bring your cutting back in two months and there's a prize for the longest cutting, one for the most new branchlets, and one for the brightest colour.

Of course I would win because I would set up a special tank that was only 5cm deep and had 500 watts of lighting. I would supplement with special ferts and beetroot juice.

:bounce:

mmmmmmm betroot juice ahhhhhhhhhh :lol:

I'm in!!!!!

I'm sure the owner will sell some cutting one day.

you have some inside goss?
