Cannt realy remeber how new leafs looked on my 2 Tiger Lotus's .

But here a couple of picture for you ( of my old planted tank , 100Gal ) to see if you can work out if yours is deffently one or not and if the leafs look right too you .

Thanks for those pictures! They look like the basic shape, but my leaves need to be more roundish. This weekend I will hopefully be going to the petstore and I'll ask if they know what it is.

Ok, do you know by any chance what kind of lilly?

I believe pets place calls it an aquarium lily

ok, thanks for the name. I'm still hoping that it is a red tiger lotus.

A new leaf uncureled!.... It is more roundish in the middle but still resumbles the shape of a chickens foot.......

The other 2 bigger leaves have doubled in size over the coarse of 2 days!!!! That seems like it's growing really, really fast.... I hope it's not..... no it couldn't be....

I hope it's not the thing that Zotek said earlier in the thread.... Zotek might be right....

Over the coarse of three days 5 more leaves have apeared!!!!!!!!!!! HOLY COW!!

This thing is growing fast. I pulled it out of the supstrate to see how it's root's were growing and the root mass is huge! Some of the leaves are getting wider in the middle so they look more like a red tiger lotus.

but oh my god, it's got like 5 new leaves in 3 days!

I'm going down to take some pics, I'll post them later.

The red tiger lotus had gotten huge! The leaves look a lot more rounded and they have gotten greener. It sent off a shoot up to the waters surface which is cool. I plan to let it do this 3-4 times, then trim ones that go up so that it will fill in more of the bottom. It looks so good!
