Cabomba furcata (piauhyensis) 

The Red Cabomba, or Cabomba furcata, is a striking stem plant from tropical Central and South America, thriving in soft, slow-moving waters. Its finely segmented submerged leaves range from olive green to rich wine-red under bright light. When the shoots reach the surface, they may produce narrow floating leaves and violet flowers. Unlike the invasive Carolina fanwort (Cabomba caroliniana), Cabomba furcata is still allowed in the EU, but aquarium plants should be disposed of properly to avoid environmental issues. This vibrant plant looks best in larger aquariums as a group in the background or midground, providing a beautiful contrast with light green species.
