Tiger lotus losing color

[Plecolover18]

I just got a new tiger lotus a couple days ago and when I woke up it lost color and had holes in it! I don't us a Co2 and iron supplements what do you guys think could be the problem, thanks

Have you given it any sort of root tabs? They are heavy root feeders and need some supplementation.

I haven't did that, I'll be at a petstore this weekend could it wait?

Plus holes just don't appear overnight so can you post a picture and list your stock of fish, snails, etc. Did it have pinholes when you got it? If you can post a picture describe the holes... big, pinhole size, brown edges, etc.

Yeah, that's looking pretty rough. Did it come as a sprouted bulb? Or as the whole plant? Did you buy it online?
