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.

Luvs pulls up are the best
Size: 5T-6T, Unit Count: 48
I love this brand. It’s very secure, and the adjustable band makes it easy to tighten without taking off my child’s pants. It doesn’t leave an odor, the texture is smooth, and my child is always comfortable. The price matches the quality, and there’s no leakage or spillover. Overall, it’s very durable. Make sure to have it correctly fastened because the Velcro can leave scratches on child skin.

Fits true to size and easy to pull up and down by my toddler. Very absorbent - perhaps a little too absorbent as it's taking my daughter forever to be potty trained and she's content in her soiled training pants... Great quality overall.

They prevent leaks, and fit great!
We have always used Huggies diapers for our babies and young toddlers because they were the only ones that never leaked or caused a rash. My second daughter was fully potty trained at 2.5 years old and never needed pull-ups. However, our third daughter, who also trained at 2.5 years old, digressed with her nighttime potty training due to instability - we moved twice within the first 6 weeks after she potty trained. So we had to get pull-ups for her to wear at night. Obviously since we loved Huggies diapers, we tried Huggies Pull-Ups, and again, they did not disappoint! They never leak, even on nights when she doesn't get up to go at all, and has lots of pee, and they have never caused a rash either, no matter how full. She's been using them for 1.5 years, at night, and we have never had any issues. They are dependable: decently comfortable to the child, do not cause rashes, fit properly with the ability to adjust at the thigh (if needed), and they prevent leaks! I highly recommend them!

Highly effective
I typically take Vitamin D in large amounts to get enhanced benefits for bone strength and immune strength. this formulation includes vitamin K which enhances the absorption of calcium in your system. These are high strength capsules with 5000 units of D in a small and easy to swallow capsule. As with any vitamin product it takes some time for the benefits to be felt however with these products they seem to have better effectiveness than my previous brand and I find myself not having to take as much to get the full benefit. The price is good for a premium product and the developers seem to have put a lot of thought into the formulation. I am fussy about my supplements and always buy the best that I can find. The known benefits of Vitamin D are many and it is essential for your good health. Yes, you can get slightly cheaper D capsules in Costco but that is false economy, as overall it will take more to get the same benefit. I love this company and all their products are top-shelf. Don't shortchange your health. I will buy these again.
