aquarium tiger lily Red Tiger Lotus "Nymphaea lotus Red" BULB – KGTropicalsRed Tiger Lotus is one of Lisas personal favorite plants for Bettas. Place these bulbs in or partially in the substrate and they will quickly sprout long stems that will work their way up to the top of the tank with large red leaves. These large leaves will be a great place for your Betta (or any other fish) to hide under or rest on and also provide them a feeling of safety. You really can't lose with these plants. Put them in the tank and BOOM, watch

Red Tiger Lotus is one of Lisas personal favorite plants for Bettas. Place these bulbs in or partially in the substrate and they will quickly sprout long stems that will work their way up to the top of the tank with large red leaves. 

These large leaves will be a great place for your Betta (or any other fish) to hide under or rest on and also provide them a feeling of safety.

You really can't lose with these plants. Put them in the tank and BOOM, watch what happens!!

While these lovely plants are often sold under the common name, red lotus, they are not a lotus at all, but a small, night blooming water lily. They are often an aquarists first introduction to red plants, because they re certainly among the easiest! Usually sold as a tuber with a small leaf or two, they should be planted in the substrate, with the leaves facing up and above the substrate. Although small in terms of water lilies, these are not small plants! They will easily take up a lot of real estate in a 4 foot tank!

They will try to send up a floating leaf from time to time, and if you want the plant to maintain its beautiful underwater leaves, these should be pinched off before they break the water surface. If you let it get away from you, however, and it is producing lots of floating leaves, all is not lost! Snap off ALL the leaves and “train” it to stay under water again. On the other hand, you might enjoy seeing it flower in your tank. In that case, the water level should be far enough below the cover and/or lights, that the flower bud can fully develop. It will open at night and close during the day. Keep in mind, however, that floating leaves will shade your other plants. So a Nymphaea lotus that is allowed to flower should probably be kept in a tank without any light loving plants below it.

Nymphaea lotus 'Red' is a very heavy feeder. It will develop offset plantlets under good conditions with enough food. These can be separated off and used in other tanks. If the tank is not fed well enough, your Nymphaea could starve your other plants. So be sure to feed regularly. This is a plant where a soil based substrate and/or regular addition of good quality, nutritionally complete plant tabs can be a big help. It grows well even without supplemental CO2, but like all plants will show it’s best if CO2 is supplied.

Nice socks.
Comfortable socks: who could ask for anything more? They seem to be of a nice quality, but I buy socks often so there's a rotation going on. A little pricey, but ankle socks always have that sporty look. Fit well, but kind of thin, which isn't a deal breaker.

Best socks on the market
Number of Items: 6, Color: Black/Graphite (6-pairs), Size: Medium
I highly recommend purchasing multiple orders of these socks. I used to wear puma socks that had the padding around the arch and were extremely thick (being that my feet are always cold) i wanted something thick again especially during the winter time. I have had these socks for over two months and I can truly say that they were a better purchase than my pumas. They are so thick that wearing even one pair will still fit into my tennis shoes or running shoes but my toes NEVER get cold. I put a lot of wear and tear on them and they have never started tearing on the bottoms like most socks do. Socks usually develop holes or tears from the friction but I wore the same pair over and over again while walking 13+ miles a day and I cannot tell any sign that these are going out on the bottom. I highly recommend purchasing multiple pairs of these socks.
