"Red lotus"... I was thinking Nelumbo 'Pekinensis Rubra', or similar. Not a Nelumbo (true lotus) then I take it?
I'm also used to "lotus" being an outdoor plant. I have 'Mrs. Perry D. Slocum' and 'Momo Botan'.
What then is "red lotus"

Oh, that's a nice plant! The only Nymphaea I was familiar with as "lotus" is the Nile Lotus. I learned something.
I do grow cold hardy Nymphaea outdoors, but never tried zenkeri... that i know of.
I do have a couple bulbs that came dry in a package. They were labeled just as Nymphaea, no species mentioned. They are red leaved, but have never done much for me. Probably because I don't use CO2.

I know, I grow them. But not in an aquarium.

OK here's the deal. I just took out 8-10 small-medium (mostly medium), and 2 big ones. Here's the package deal= $35 shipped for all.
custom drum, or whoever wants 'em.
They are in a pail of water now- I want to ship monday.
thanks!
PS I can take out more big ones if anyone wants them.
