Red myriophyllum and cabomba.

[ancientaquarist]

In my 150 community tank I have 4 large Echin. 'Red Indian'; 1 small unnamed Echin; 1 bity one bought as compacta. These are doing fine as is my anubias coffeefolia. However I want to grow red foliaged plants at the end of the tank which gets a few hours of morning sun and both the myriophyllum and cabomba have declined and/or been eaten. Besides the swords the only other red plant to succeed so far are red foliaged water lilies. I've had little luck with any ludwigia. Can someone recommend a red plant that I can use in bright light and that isn't terribly difficult. Oh, there are three cryptocoryne wendtiis but they're coffee brown and not spreading. Also, I'd like to carpet certain areas and was
wondering what to use. TIA.

Red flame swords, they grow like crazy in my tanks. If decide you would like some, I can send you some.

Check my picture album for pics of the red flame.

Flame red swords. ATTN: Matt

I would bless you in eternity. Echinodorus does fabulously in both my tanks. Could you spare 4-they can be lttle is they're stong. So they form
a carpet? How tall do they get? You've made my day!

I have lots of plantlets, unfortunately all but one are in a tank with some snails. I can send several if you don't mind the snails. Or, if you want to wait a couple weeks, there will be more in the tank without the snails.
