Simonauv Posted April 8, 2006 Share Posted April 8, 2006 I've always loved water lilies and the effect their floating leaves and long narrow stalks have in fishtanks and how fish like angels really seem to suit that kind of habitat. I've grown waterlilies in tanks before (in standard 4ft and 6x2x2) but have never got them to flower in tanks. Anyone been successful in getting them to flower in tanks? I've got banana lily to flower in tanks and outdoors too but not regular waterlilies. I am picturing a planted display tank with pendant MH lights that is open at the top with no cross supports that has flowering waterlilies indoors Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nem7902 Posted April 18, 2006 Share Posted April 18, 2006 hey, that would look very nice,hmm have u ever tryed any kind of dwarf lillies?? they might do good n flower for u ...if ya have a good size tank say 2 foot high should help a bit...and the gravel soil u use is gonna make a BIG difference so you should maybe try some proper aquatic soil hth Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wui39 Posted April 18, 2006 Share Posted April 18, 2006 I found neglect to be the best form of care for water lillies. lol Plenty of light (like almost blinding light) and it should be right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
