Red Tiger Lotus Aquarium Lily (Nymphaea zenkeri) - Aquarium Bulb Plant

The Red Tiger Lotus, also known as Nymphaea zenkeri, is a beautiful aquarium lily that brings bold color and character to freshwater aquariums. Native to Africa, this aquatic plant is admired for its striking arrow-shaped leaves that range from deep red to green with unique speckled patterns. It can grow up to 20 inches tall, making it ideal as a midground or background plant where it can serve as a stunning focal point. Whether grown as a compact dwarf aquarium lily or allowed to send leaves toward the water’s surface, this tiger lotus aquarium plant adds elegance and natural shelter to your aquascape. While most popular in aquariums, this versatile tiger lotus aquarium plant can also be grown in outdoor ponds, where its floating leaves add a natural and decorative touch.

Benefits

  • Creates a stunning focal point with its vibrant red leaves.
  • Provides shade and shelter for fish and shrimp.
  • Helps reduce algae by competing for nutrients.
  • Easy to grow from a red bulb plant, making it beginner-friendly.

Care Guide

Caring for the Red Tiger Lotus Aquarium Lily is simple with the right conditions, making it suitable for both beginners and experienced aquarists.

Light

Moderate to high lighting will bring out the deep red coloration in the leaves. In low light, the plant may stay more green than red.

Temperature

Keep water temperature between 72-82°F for healthy growth.

CO2

CO2 injection is not required, but adding it can encourage faster and more vibrant growth.

Water Parameters

Best in freshwater aquariums with a pH range of 6.5-7.5 and soft to medium hardness.

Growth Rate

The dwarf aquarium lily grows quickly and may send leaves to the surface if not trimmed. Regular pruning keeps it compact and attractive.

Propagation

New plants grow from the bulb. Simply place the aquarium plant bulb halfway into the substrate and wait for shoots to appear.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does Red Tiger Lotus need CO2?

No, Red Tiger Lotus grows beautifully without CO2 injection. It's a heavy root feeder — a quality root tab near the bulb provides all the nutrition needed. It thrives in low to high light conditions.

How do you plant a Red Tiger Lotus bulb?

Place the bulb on top of the substrate or half-bury it — never fully bury it, as this can cause rot. The bulb will send roots down and shoots up naturally. Add a root tab nearby for faster growth.

Will Red Tiger Lotus take over my tank?

It can grow large (12-18 inch leaves) and send lily pads to the surface. Trim surface leaves regularly and prune outer leaves to control size. Keeping it in a pot or trimming runners prevents spreading.

Good fit. Inexpensive chic look
Size: Small, Color: White, Size: Small, Color: White
Great fit and very flattering. I am a small and bought a small. After 4 washes it definitely looks a bit worn…I wear it with trousers for work. I will now be wearing it more casually since it looks a bit more worn. Still worth it for the price and comfy. Colors are what they look like online. I’m 5’6 130 lb

Must have basic
Size: Large, Color: Black
I am so impressed with these Amazon shirts! The material is incredibly soft — like that perfect broken-in tee you’ve had for years but without the wear and tear. They’re lightweight but not thin or see-through, and they wash really well with no shrinking or losing shape. What I love most is how versatile they are. They’re the kind of basics that instantly become a staple in your closet — easy to dress up with jeans and a cardigan, or throw on with leggings for a comfy day out. The fit is flattering without being tight, and they hold up throughout the day without stretching out or looking sloppy. If you’re looking for comfortable, everyday shirts that feel amazing and go with everything, these are absolutely worth it. I’ve already ordered more colors!

love the high neck and crop/waist length
Size: Large, Color: Black, Size: Large, Color: Black
This is one of my favorite shirts- not to loose, but not too tight- has some shape built in. I find the shoulders and neck to be fitted well and look neater than some of my skinnier strapped tank tops -which always seem to hang just a little too low, despite my tall body and fuller upper body, so I don't understand- this looks neater and more put together. I teach yoga and can face my class on hands and knees and not give a show- I'm not prude, but it can be distracting to have a shirt gaping open... the cotton, yes, it's going to age quicker than some fabrics, but I like the feel of it, plus it releases odors more quickly. I have both large and xl size- just depends on my outfit and how I'm feeling-i'm in between sizes so the L is a little more fitted, the xl still looks cute, but gives a little room, esp in the waist- its not as flattering, but cooler and comfy for days I need. I think this shrunk/tightened up a bit in the wash/dry, but not a ton (I don't remember, so think it wasn't much, anyway).

Ill fitting
Size: Medium, Color: White
Arm holes are way too big. I'm 135 pounds and a 36c and it's huge in the chest and too tight around the neck. Its a good length and material but it's so ill fitting everywhere else.

Just ok.
Size: Large, Color: Bright Poppy Red
It’s ok. The fabric isn’t very soft. I expected the color to be more of a coral/pink red. But it’s a red with an orange undertone. Quality is what you expect for $10. I did like the neckline though. It was flattering.
