I think the leaves are too smooth for a tiger lotus
maybe a red water lily species

Looks like Nymphaea stellata commonly known as Dwarf Aquarium Lily.

the dwarf lilies don't grow very big, i think like a 20-30g can fit one

I have a Helvola dwarf waterlily, I tried twice to get it to grow in an aquarium and in both attempts it would not take or thrive. I will be trying again this year but use a larger trim piece from the original. The parent plant has been outside for over 20 years now.

The Helvola might require a dormant period. I don't know about other dwarf water lillies. Mine could fit in a 20 gallon tank if trimmed but normally would take up a full 100 gallon stock tank when left outside.
