🌿 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 β€” with no need for COβ‚‚ 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.


πŸ’š Why Choose Tiger Lotus?

βœ… Striking Appearance – Deep red, green, or variegated leaves for a dramatic focal point
βœ… No COβ‚‚ or Fertilizers Needed – Grown naturally, thrives in low-tech tanks
βœ… Fast Growth – Great for quickly filling space in new aquariums
βœ… Deep Root Feeder – Helps stabilize dirted tanks and balance nutrients
βœ… Great for Fish, Shrimp & Fry – Provides shade and structure


πŸͺ΄ Plant Care Tips:

Lighting: Moderate to high (brings out deeper reds)
Substrate: Deep soil with sand cap strongly recommended
COβ‚‚: Not required
Placement: Midground to background β€” or as a bold centerpiece
Growth Rate: Fast once rooted
Tank Size: Best in 10 gallons or larger

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


🌿 Father Fish Tip:

β€œLet that lotus root deep in good soil and don’t rush it. It’ll explode with color and balance your tank from the ground up.”


πŸ›’ Why Buy from Us:

β€’ Farm-grown in natural soil β€” not hormone-treated
β€’ No chemicals, no COβ‚‚, and no artificial boosters
β€’ Shipped fresh, healthy, and ready to root
β€’ Ideal for Father Fish and low-tech aquarium systems
