red tiger lily bulbs Red Tiger Lotus "Nymphaea lotus Red" BULB – KGTropicalsRed Tiger Lotus is one of Lisas personal favorite plants for Bettas. Place these bulbs in or partially in the substrate and they will quickly sprout long stems that will work their way up to the top of the tank with large red leaves. These large leaves will be a great place for your Betta (or any other fish) to hide under or rest on and also provide them a feeling of safety. You really can't lose with these plants.

Red Tiger Lotus is one of Lisas personal favorite plants for Bettas. Place these bulbs in or partially in the substrate and they will quickly sprout long stems that will work their way up to the top of the tank with large red leaves. 

These large leaves will be a great place for your Betta (or any other fish) to hide under or rest on and also provide them a feeling of safety.

You really can't lose with these plants. Put them in the tank and BOOM, watch what happens!!

While these lovely plants are often sold under the common name, red lotus, they are not a lotus at all, but a small, night blooming water lily. They are often an aquarists first introduction to red plants, because they re certainly among the easiest! Usually sold as a tuber with a small leaf or two, they should be planted in the substrate, with the leaves facing up and above the substrate. Although small in terms of water lilies, these are not small plants! They will easily take up a lot of real estate in a 4 foot tank!

They will try to send up a floating leaf from time to time, and if you want the plant to maintain its beautiful underwater leaves, these should be pinched off before they break the water surface. If you let it get away from you, however, and it is producing lots of floating leaves, all is not lost! Snap off ALL the leaves and “train” it to stay under water again. On the other hand, you might enjoy seeing it flower in your tank. In that case, the water level should be far enough below the cover and/or lights, that the flower bud can fully develop. It will open at night and close during the day. Keep in mind, however, that floating leaves will shade your other plants. So a Nymphaea lotus that is allowed to flower should probably be kept in a tank without any light loving plants below it.

Nymphaea lotus 'Red' is a very heavy feeder. It will develop offset plantlets under good conditions with enough food. These can be separated off and used in other tanks. If the tank is not fed well enough, your Nymphaea could starve your other plants. So be sure to feed regularly. This is a plant where a soil based substrate and/or regular addition of good quality, nutritionally complete plant tabs can be a big help. It grows well even without supplemental CO2, but like all plants will show it’s best if CO2 is supplied.

Great for cable management
Size: 6ft Cord, Color: 20W_Black
If you are obsessed with keeping cables neatly organized for your desk, this is the perfect power strip to get. It comes with decent enough screws for mounting that will hold the weight of all the cords you plug in. The outlets on all three sides is very convenient and makes it a snap to fit all your devices in even with some having very large adapters on the plugs, which often take up a majority of the power strip. I have already purchased a couple more so I can organize my wife's desk and one of my kid's desks.

Fine, Be Careful How You Mount It
Size: 6ft Cord, Color: 20W_Black
Good power strip with the functionality that I needed. 12 plugs and usb. Be careful how you mount it because the plugs on one side are upside down. You may have to buy thin pigtails which I did.

So far so good...
Size: 10ft Cord, Color: 20W_Black
I bought this for a work space where coworkers kept stealing the charging blocks needed for essential equipment to use for their phones and unplugging essential equipment to plug in their phones. So far after a month the issues leading to it's purchase have not returned and the unit hasn't as yet developed any of it's own. I'll report back if the latter changes within the year.
