Comparing Dwarf Lily Growth

[MickS77]

I placed a single bulb in my blackwater tank a couple months ago. That tank only has a single 48in. Finnex Stringray and gets no regular fertilizers. Its grown pretty well and has several lily pads at the surface. 

After the original plant sent out a few shoots I placed one of them in my "high tech" planted tank. With high light, CO2 injection, and dry fert dosing the difference in growth is neat to see. The leaves are darker in color, smaller, more round, and not as wrinkled as the original plant.

I've been considering the idea of adding CO2 at least to the display tank in my living room where I'd really like the plants to look their best.
