Looking for more plants to keep a lid on hair algae! I do water changes, but I think more plants would help.

Red tiger lotus!!! So fucking beautiful, I have one as a centerpiece in my 15g dwarf cichlid planted tank

Most of it is under a foot but it will put out lillypads that rise to water surface level

Ooooh, I've wanted lilypads :)

Oh man can they really get that amazing looking? I just put on in my 4gal nano, I had no idea they get this crazy. Great picture!

Yes they will grow!! Some root tabs and good light and they’re happy. They will also put out long leaves that act like little lily pads!
