The first leaves are always floaters so that is not unusual. When I successfully grew lotus I fertilized at least every three weeks. As the water temperature heats up they need a lot of food. It is getting late in the season but I would try and fertilize again and see what happens.

That being said, I have had trouble in the past few years with symptoms similar to yours. Another DG'r also had problems this year. I am wondering if there isn't an insect or disease out there that has not been diagnosed yet.

These are from a few years ago.
