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.

Very handy to have to spot them easily
Color: Dark Blue
Love the cases, have a different color on each rooms tv. Hopefully it will protect from a drop as that is what prompted me to buy it. We cracked the screen on our last remote and they are expensive to replace. Good price

An Elegant and Secure Solution for Remote Control Storage
Color: Red
One of the first aspects I noticed was the impeccable fit of the case. It cradles the remote with precision, ensuring a snug and secure hold. This tight fit protects the remote from accidental drops and minimizes the risk of misplacement—a common concern in busy households or shared spaces. The peace of mind this provides is genuinely appreciable. The case's construction is made of lightweight and durable material. Despite its slim profile, it offers reliable protection against daily wear and tear, keeping the remote pristine. This balance between portability and sturdiness is a testament to the quality of its design. Another thoughtful feature is the minimalist aesthetics. The case seamlessly complements the Apple TV remote’s sleek design, blending harmoniously with modern decor. It’s a small yet impactful detail that enhances the overall visual appeal of my entertainment area. Moreover, the case is straightforward to install and remove. This user-friendly approach ensures I can switch between setups or clean the remote with minimal hassle—a convenience that should not be overlooked.

Perfect remote case!
Color: Red
100% worth every penny for this! Apple seemingly makes their remotes from sheets of aluminum foil, if you fart to close to one, the wind will dent them. That being said- This case solves that. The fit and finish is apple quality (the quality of their other products, not the remote made of play doh), it doesn’t add much bulk, easy to use and snaps right in place, and has an almost soft feel with some grip so it won’t slide off the arm of a couch or recliner. The red band of color is great for making it stick out and easier to find as well. 10/10 would recommend!

Exceeded expectations.
Color: Blue
This simple yet effective case covers the back with a clear plastic window and fully encases the remote's edges. My kids dropped the old remote far too many times, and being made of aluminum, it dented and the IR piece in the front broke. I even bought a new remote, BUT, once I put this case on the old one (gluing the IR window back on), I discovered I no longer need the new remote, as this will last a long long time. I wish I had bought this from the start. Why didn't I? because I thought it would make it bulkier. Sure it's a little wider, but feels pretty good in the hand, and the weight difference is negligible.
