The tiger lotuses in the tanks though, they are wonderful. Definitely my favourite aquarium plant, though I am guite liking getting to know the banana lily. Before it takes over!
And I was also delighted to see the tank with fish, fed those fish during my absence. It was one of the aspects of this little experiment that I wanted to test. So I am very happy with their progress.
That's unfortunate that your lotus isn't happy. What is/isn't it doing? It could just be sulking from being disturbed. I have one that I had to move just as it was waking up because the container sprang a leak. It's now looking well behind the others with only a couple of above water leaves so far. I have fingers crossed that it will catch up to the others and have some flowers in January, but it may be one that will miss a year. Flowering is never guaranteed. Some flower every year but some don't.
I don't know banana lily. I looked it up and it looks interesting but too tropical for my outdoor pond.
What fish did you get?
