Bacopa caroliniana 'Yellow flame' (GOLDFISH PROOF!)
RUGGED, GOLDFISH and CICHLID HANDLING Killer Plant.
Bacopa caroliniana "Yellow Flame" Want a hardy stem plant that will give you a nice contrast to your background, without all of the work of faster stem plants that need trimmed all of the time? Say hello to Bacopa!
This Bacopa caroliniana is call the "Yellow flame" variety as it has been produced through selective crossing to accent the yellow tips. Bacopa isn't your fastest growing plant, but this is because it is thicker than most stem plants. It's leaves almost feel rubbery to the touch.
NOTE: We have now had this plant in stock for over a month. You can see how the tips will give you that Redish- Yellow FLAME look under some decent lights.
In the summer we grow it outside where it gets a pinkish red on its tips. (It will take all of the light you can give it or NOT give it)
NOTE: We have also grown in COLD WATER. (It doesn't grow as quickly but still thrives!)
YOU COULD USE THIS IN A POND or with Axelotls!
THIS IS A GREAT BEGINNER PLANT. It will take some time to get established but will make a nice addition to ANY Planted Tank. You are getting a bunch with 7-8 stems in it.
This will be one of your favorite plants!!! TRY IT

Customer Reviews
Packaged nicely. Arrived quickly. Looked just like the photo.
I was surprised by the look and feel of this plant. The stems and leaves are thicker, and the color is a beautiful yellow-green. It is a nice contrast to the mostly green foliage of my tank. I have given it a prominent spot along the side front to enjoy this one. The photo is how this plant arrived; it was not yet planted in the tank. Thanks so much!
These plants have very strong stems and lots of roots. The beautiful shades of yellow add amazing contrast in my aquascape. I’m excited to see how beautiful it’ll be when the orange hues start growing. Super healthy and very well taken care of. Worth every penny!
I have never been disappointed with anything bought from DustinsFishtanks! Will alway be my goto for aquarium plants! They are always healthy and beautiful plants. You may get some bladdar snails but my yoyo loaches take care of that issue so no complaints here! Very happy with my purchase!!
Beautiful
