Tiger lotus blooming

Tiger lotus blooming

So when the lights turned on this morning, i was very surprised to see that the tiger lotus seems to be putting out a flower. 🙂 Can’t wait to see what it’s …

Woot! Tanks looking great. Thanks for posting… BTW I got rid of my
puffer. It was the choice of a puffer or shrimp. Shrimp eat fish poop and
the puffer doesn’t. He was fed very well and when I took him back to my lfs
they gave me full credit. He had the best color of any puffer in his old
tank. 😉

@TommysFish I think it happened because i tricked the plant into thinking
it is summertime.. The underwater leaves died of when i added the new
lights, and the new lights also makes the water a couple of degrees
warmer.. More light, and warmer waters = summer.. I’m thinking that is what
happened.. 🙂

@zakartaz i take 2-3 leaves of every week, they just keep coming, lol.. The
record was 9 floating leaves with a 10th on the way.. I like keeping it at
about 5, just so the other plants has a chance to get some light. 🙂

do yo know what colour/size/shape flower these produce? looking forward to
seeing it in bloom

Christian says:

@paducahFishFan Yeah puffers can be troublesome, especially towards shrimp,
lol. This tank contains hundreds of cherry shrimp, but as soon as they come
out, they are jumped by the puffer, the clowns, or the angels, so i rarely
see them, except ehen i clean out the filter, there’s always a couple
hundred in there, lol. I actually got some banana plants today, can’t wait
to see how they do in the tall tank. 🙂

My lotus that was dieing is still hanging on I think it needs potassium
anyways it still doesn’t have a bulb and last week I noticed my Lfs sells
red tiger lotus bulbs(ones that have shoots of coarse)so I think I will try
a bulbed1

Amazing, I’m waiting for my tiger lotus to bloom as well, but I think I’m
going to have to wait a while because I recently trimmed the leaves back.
