🌿 Tiger Lotus – Bold, Fast-Growing Bulb for Natural Aquascapes
Tiger Lotus (Nymphaea zenkeri) is a stunning centerpiece plant that adds drama, depth, and color to any natural aquarium. With its broad, red-to-green mottled leaves and lily-like form, this aquatic bulb anchors deep into soil and quickly sends up lush foliage — with no need for CO₂ or chemical fertilizers.
Perfect for Father Fish–style dirted tanks, the Tiger Lotus is both beautiful and functional: it pulls excess nutrients from the water, shades your tank, and grows vigorously in low-tech setups.
💚 Why Choose Tiger Lotus?
✅ Striking Appearance – Deep red, green, or variegated leaves for a dramatic focal point
✅ No CO₂ or Fertilizers Needed – Grown naturally, thrives in low-tech tanks
✅ Fast Growth – Great for quickly filling space in new aquariums
✅ Deep Root Feeder – Helps stabilize dirted tanks and balance nutrients
✅ Great for Fish, Shrimp & Fry – Provides shade and structure
🪴 Plant Care Tips:

Substrate: Deep soil with sand cap strongly recommended
CO₂: Not required
Placement: Midground to background — or as a bold centerpiece

🌱 Remove surface pads if you want the plant to stay low and bushy.
