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

Beautiful plant can’t wait to see how it looks just planted
The packaging sets you apart from all others. Plants in excellent health - vibrant colors. Luscious-full! Plant melt isn’t happening. No hitch-hikers.
Love you guys!
I just received these and they look incredible. Some plants ship better than others and these obviously can handle it. Dustin's Fish Tanks is the best source for plants.
Attractive plants that haven’t been destroyed by the goldfish yet. Very healthy and decent size.
My first attempt at live plants. I ordered on a Friday and was planting my tank on Tuesday. I could not believe how healthy all the plants looked that I ordered. I may have to set up another tank just so I can order more.
