(I live in South Florida, for those who don't know)

I went to a local canal where I had seen fish before, and I was planning on feeding them to see if there were any worth catching. Didn't see any fish but saw a GIGANTIC pile of cabomba! There were some small stalks in the soil, and one big mass that was around 3 or 4 feet wide, at least 2 feet tall, right by the shore! I know where I'm going next time I need some. I'll have to check for eggs and whatnot, I'll probably quarantine it.

Oh, and elodea is actually illegal here in Florida. Too invasive. The species of cabomba, I wasn't sure, but I think it was carolinia.

And yet I can't keep the stuff alive in my tank.
