Can you see the thread on the left side diagonal to the bottom left? I had to rope the stem and pull it over so it would clear the tank support .

Thanks Killbeys! 

The bubble bee cat does hide all the time but he has a feeding routine which involves him coming out of his hole and forage under the Tiger Lotus. I then get to see him for just a brief moment.

Wow, so that flower is, what? 10 inches wide?

You know, I thought that very same thing when I was researching photos on the internet before the plant bloomed. The pictures made it seem the flowers where 4-6 inches in diameter. And they very well may get that big but this flower is maybe 3" in diameter. Same size roundness as a silver dollar maybe.


P.S. I pressed the +1 on accident , lol. Darn mobile, the quote and + button are super close together....

Re: Tiger Lotus flower

Looks are very deceiving, still, a 3 inch flower in a tank is huge!

And lol on the +1 :) I'll take a vote any way I can!

Re: Tiger Lotus flower

That's amazing! I've never actually known anyone who was able to get their tiger lotus to flower (in a fishtank, no less!) Congrats, Chad!! What beautiful growth, too! :)

If only you knew the back story to this plant. The original bulb this plant started from is now 5 years old. Before this huge plant became what it is, it has grown a bit, melted, over and over for the past 5 years. The original bulb just rolls around my tank periodically sprouting (every few months). So I say, dont let die off stop you from trying again if you really want it :)

Re: Tiger Lotus flower

I will try again someday...I have been considering starting fresh in my 20 gallon tall. Maybe I will try a tiger lotus as the centerpiece.
