I was thinking about ordering some live plants from AquariumPlants.com. I see under there bigginer plants is the red Tiger Lotus. Also wondering about Rotala Indica.
Would these be ok plants?
it is a 75gal, I have 240watts of light from full spectrum bulbs, pH 7.6, Temp around 81F, fish include, Angel fish, black neon tetras, Oto cinclus. Light is on for 10hrs. Plant substrate is Seachem Flourite.

Thanks so much for your help!
 
I've got a red tiger in my 65, and it's growing like mad. I have it in playground sand under a 50/50 65 watt PC and I'm dosing with low levels of ferts. It came from a ten gallon with no ferts and grows like crazy. Pics of mine are around two months after, and at purchase the leaves were two to three inches. Now they break eight to ten. Great beginner plant, I fully recommend it.

Ok, thanks for your help! Do you know if it's the same for regular tiger lotus?
 
umm if i were to give you some advice its dont order red tiger lotuses from aquarium plants. i ordered one and they gave me some weird plant that looked like a lotus but it wasnt the red tiger. This plant grew like a weed and destroyed my set up when i noticed that it wasnt a red tiger so i pulled it up and lifted at least 1 inch of substrate from my tank. (over a period of 1 month)
 
Wow! 1in of substrate! If I wanted to get one, do you have another website I could order one from.
 
Does anyone know of a different website I could order a red tiger lotus from??
 
I checked out azgardens and I would have to pay twice as much as at aquariumplants.
The plants at sweetaquatics are very small, but they are also 2/3 the price of aquariumplants....
I think that there is a sticky in the planted tank section that I'll check out...

Thank you for your help
 
I got my red tiger lotus from aquariumplants.com out of the seven I ordered two were regular tiger lotus. They came as bulbs with no leaves and grew crazy in a month.
