Notes

The Tiger Lotus is widespread in tropical Africa and colonizes a wide variety of waters there - temporary ponds and lakes on the one hand, but also flowing waters on the other. It has a tuber as a storage organ with strong floating leaves. The most beautiful thing about this plant, however, are the submerged juvenile leaves, which do not reach the surface of the water. Of the two color forms, the red tiger lotus is the most popular among aquarists; however, its green color form is rarely found in the trade. Tiger lotus are quite undemanding, older and larger leaves are always removed at the base of the tuber.

I don’t recommend it

The tuber doesn’t grow.

Our feedback: Hello, Thank you very much for your review. Depending on the water temperature, it can take up to a month for the tubers to start sprouting. You received the tuber on 20 January 2026, so we kindly ask you to be patient. If nothing has grown by the end of February, please contact us by email.

Alternanthera reineckii 'Rosanervig
Alternanthera reineckii 'Rosanervig' Alternanthera Reineckii Rosanervig is a red aquarium plant for the middle ground of the aquarium. The striking pattern on the leaves makes this species a real rarity in any planted aquarium.. Growing difficulty: moderately demanding Light requirement: medium CO₂ requirement: medium Outgrown plant height: up to 30cm Growth: medium Temperature: 22-28°C Placement in aquarium: second level Origin: cultivated variety Cup diameter: 6cm Alternanthera Reineckii 'Rosanervig', or Alternanthera Reineka Rosanervig, also known as Red Ruby. You may also come across the name Alternanthera Cardinalis, but that is not the scientific name for this plant. It is a very impressive member of the Amaranthaceae family that looks best in the background, in the center of the tank.In large aquariums, it can be planted in the foreground. If regularly cut back to a height of 5-10 cm, it will form a beautiful red carpet. Its distinctive feature is the burgundy pink leaves with contrasting light veins. The color of the leaves depends on the conditions in the aquarium. It is popular for arrangements in Dutch style aquariums. It is recommended to plant 6-7 seedlings in a group to form a compact, interesting-looking shrub. This variety needs a lot of light and is quite a demanding plant in this respect. A fertile substrate is also essential. It grows well in active media. The plant easily reproduces by dividing shoots that grow at the base of the stem and leaves. Cuttings cut from the mother plant can be put directly into the substrate. They quickly form a root system. For lush growth is recommended average minimum fertilization of Alternantera rosanervig with CO₂, i.e. with a content of 6 - 14 mg/l. It is advisable to use liquid fertilizers so that the plant does not lack micro and macro elements. This variety is not very demanding on water parameters. It grows in soft to hard water with pH between 5 and 8. The leaves of Alternantera rosanervig are very dense, so the plant is often used by smaller fish as protection from predators, and shade-loving species like to stay under it. Alternantera rosanervig looks nice near species such as Hemianthus callitrichoides Cuba and Aponogeton boivinianus . It contrasts nicely with the green of the other aquatic plants.Planting:The plant must be removed from the cup and thoroughly rinsed of gel under running water. This is best done by placing the plant in a container of lukewarm water. Most of the gel will then fall off by itself.

Nesea sp. Gold
Nesea sp. GoldNesea sp. "Gold" is a stem plant, with intense yellow to orange colors that is rare in aquarium plants. Growing difficulty: : medium, demandingLight requirement: mediumCO₂ requirement: mediumAdult plant height: 40-50 cmGrowth: mediumTemperature: 22-28°CPlacement in aquarium: third levelOrigin: AfricaCup diameter 6 cmNesea Crassicaulis Gold (Nesea sp. Gold) from Africa, a quite rare and very decorative plant with medium requirements and moderate growth rate.With sufficient light, it takes on colors ranging from bright yellow to intense orange. Nesea sp. Gold is not very demanding in terms of growing conditions. The yellow coloration of the leaves can be achieved even with moderately intense light. The stronger the lighting, the more the color shifts towards an orange tone. The plant can reach a height of up to 50 cm and is thus intended for the third level. However, it has a fairly moderate growth, so it does not require frequent pruning and with good care can be used as a foreground plant. Nesea sp. Gold needs CO₂ in gaseous form, but the carbon dioxide requirement is not too high and medium due to the growth rate is not too fast. It requires nutrient-rich water for optimal appearance. However, attention should be paid to potassium levels, as excess can cause deformation of the growth cones.It grows best at temperatures between 22 and 28 degrees Celsius. Since it prefers high temperatures, it is suitable for tanks with a population of extremely heat-loving fish. The undoubted advantage of this plant is the combination of a very unusual leaf color and low requirements. Nesea sp. Gold provides a good contrast with both green and red foliage plants, and the effect is relatively easy to achieve. It does not require a large amount of CO2. It likes soft and slightly acidic water, but can grow in other parameters as well. It needs good light, a nutrient-rich substrate, CO2 and adequate fertilization to achieve intense coloration. If you want to keep Nesea sp. Gold as a background plant, you should prune it regularly. This will not only keep it at the right height, but will also make it thicker and give it a striking appearance. After pruning, the plant will rejuvenate and the cut tops can be planted in the ground.Planting: Before planting, simply rinse the plants from the gel. Unlike plants kept in rockwool, partial drainage is not required..

Bucephalandra sp. "Aqua Artica
Bucephalandra sp. "Aqua Artica Bucephalandra sp. "Aqua Artica" is an aquarium plant that likes to grow on rocks and roots. It is an endemic species from Borneo.Difficulty of cultivation: easyLight requirements: lowCO₂ requirements: lowHeight of adult plant: 10 cmGrowth: very slowTemperature: 20-27°CPlacement in aquarium: Second levelOrigin: Borneo Island, Southeast AsiaCup diameter: 6 cmThe genus name is derived from the Greek term 'bull's head' and refers directly to the dust sacs in the horn-like inflorescences. Bucephalandra sp. Aqua Artica is a beautiful and rather rare species native to Southeast Asia. It is an endemic plant from Borneo that is not often found in aquariums and can be considered a rarity.Bucephalandra sp. Aqua Artica belongs to the Araceae family, the picture plant family. The family counts up to 2,500 species, among which there are some epiphytes like Bucephalandra sp. Aqua Artica. In the wild, it grows on rocks, in streams and rivers with rushing currents, or on the walls of waterfalls.It prefers partial shade or even full shade. Its natural habitat is humid tropical forests where there is very little light. Borneo is in an equatorial climate zone, which means that there are dry and rainy seasons. As the rains come, the levels of the rivers rise, causing Bucephalandra to flood for months at a time. For this reason, the plant has taken on submersible characteristics and does well under water. When fully submerged, it is more intensely colored and has a finer leaf structure.Bucephalandra sp. Aqua Artica has creeping stems with the tip pointing vertically upward. The characteristic elongated green leaves with a prominent central vein are its special ornament.It grows slowly and does not exceed 10 cm in height. It is a low-maintenance species that needs no pruning and no intense lighting. It tolerates temperatures from 20 to 27 °C. However, it should be noted that it may lose its leaves in case of sudden changes in water or light parameters. Even if the plant loses its leaves but has a healthy rhizome, there is a good chance that it will recover and grow well again. Bucephalandra grows well in soft, slightly acidic water. The supply of carbon dioxide and fertilizers will favor the growth of the plant.It is not difficult to grow and can be recommended to beginners in aquaristics. It looks great in the background, attached to a root or rock. In any case, the roots of Bucephalandra should not be covered with substrate. Outside the aquarium, this species is also well suited for paludariums, where, however, it has less color and stiffer leaves.Planting: The plant must be removed from the cup and thoroughly rinsed from the gel under running water. This is best done by placing the plant in a container of lukewarm water. Most of the gel will then fall off by itself. Divide the contents of the cup into 1-2 cm lumps and then place them at a small distance on the selected items.

"Bonsai" is a lush green, decorative stem plant for the second level of the aquarium. It is also called Rotala Bonsai. It is a distinctive miniature variety that cannot be confused with any other. It is quite rare in aquariums. It is a cultivar or breeding variety, which means that it does not occur in nature. Ammania sp. 'Bonsai' has straight, sparsely branched, thick stems and round leaves.It is generally a small plant, but it grows very nicely, sometimes even without pruning. The plant looks best when planted in a group. So place at least 5-7 cuttings next to each other to achieve the desired visual effect. It has an ideal size for shrimp tanks and nanoaquariums.Ammania does not require special fertilization, but it is good to provide it with a rich substrate containing micro and macro elements. The plant has no great water requirements and grows in both soft and hard water with a pH of 6 to 7.5, but a fertile substrate, CO₂ fertilization and liquid fertilizers are recommended for full coloration. It requires regular administration of macro and micro nutrients, especially iron. It does not have high requirements for light, but in intense light the tips turn red.Planting: The plant must be removed from the cup and thoroughly rinsed from the gel under running water. This is best done by placing the plant in a container of lukewarm water. Most of the gel will then fall off by itself. Divide the contents of the cup into 1-2 cm lumps and then place them at a small distance on the selected items.

JBL PRONOVO PLECO WAFER M
JBL ProNovo Pleco Wafer MWafers in size M for all herbivorous and algae-eating suckermouth catfish from 1 to 20 cm in size in community aquaria.Large food wafers for all suckermouth catfish that feed on plants and algae, such as many Hypostomus species. The wood content covers the requirements of catfish species that need to grate woodApplication: Allow to sink to the bottom of the aquarium. For crepuscular and nocturnal species, only feed after the lights have been switched offNatural raw materials without artificial additives for a natural diet and healthy aquarium fish. Tested on JBL research expeditions in the tropicsVery high acceptance even with picky species thanks to high-quality raw materials such as spinach, salmon, spirulina and shrimpsScope of delivery: Original sealed, air and light-tight, recyclable can with dosing aid inside the lid (for 250, 1000 ml)The group of suckermouth catfish is quite diverse in terms of diet: the majority of species feed herbivorously on plants and algae. Many of these species are also wood-eaters. However, there are also species such as the zebra or cactus catfish that do not eat plants, but microorganisms, insects and even dead fish. JBL PRONOVO TABs are the right choice for these species. The JBL PRONOVO PLECO, which is available in two sizes, was developed for all other suckermouth catfish. By the way, experts can recognize what the catfish eats by its teeth.Some species of suckermouth catfish do not come out when the light is still on. If you then feed them food tablets, they will disintegrate and are more likely to be eaten by the other fish, if they like "green food tablets". It is advisable to feed JBL PRONOVO PLECO AFTER switching off the light. The wafers (chips, which are thinner than food tablets) do not dissolve so quickly and are still in a consistency that the catfish have to grate vigorously (important for the teeth - no joke!) when the catfish are active.How can you proceed if you keep different bottom dwellers in an aquarium?Fish also have a sense of taste and will refuse food if they don't like it. In addition, we do NOT keep any bottom dwellers for which it would be problematic if they ate a food tablet that was actually intended for another species (e.g. loaches). You can therefore feed both types of tablet (e.g. JBL PRONOVO PLECO for herbivorous suckermouth catfish and JBL PRONOVO TAB for carnivorous or omnivorous catfish) at the same time. It is even positive for the fish, as they are offered more variety and yet every group of fish gets their species-appropriate diet.

With its highly decorative, strongly wavy leaf edges, it is probably one of the most beautiful foreground plants. At first glance, it looks like a rosette plant, but it is actually a strongly compressed stem plant. If a few basic cultivation conditions are met, Pogostemon helferi forms beautiful plant cushions: good to intensive lighting, temperatures around 25 °C, medium-hard water. Under these conditions, its leaf colour is rich green.
