These are both equally beautiful lily species. They are bulb plants. The two most important factors in successfully growing a Red or Green Tiger Lotus in an aquarium is plenty of light and a healthy substrate. Keep in temps for the tiger Lotus between 70-80° Fahrenheit (21-27° Celsius), with a pH of 6.5-7.5. Once the plant takes root, it will produce off-shoots extending to the water's surface. Keeping the off-shoots trimmed will encourage bottom growth of the plant. A healthy tiger lotus can reach up to 10-15 inches (25–38 cm) in height. Can make a great center piece plant in a aquarium or accent plant. If you can find them they make a great edition to the planted tank.

Anyone else growing either one of these plants ? They can get quite large if you let the lily leaves form at the surface.

I have a very small red tiger lotus! Got it from the Toronto trip, find it slow growing!
