    Hi Riccia-craze, you just had a "giving-up hobby sale", I thought you were giving up the hobby.

    Anyway, you asking for someone for ID or someone to give you advice on keeping the plant?

    redness in plants are attributed to three things:

    a) Iron Supplementation (Fe)
    b) Light intensity, in short for some plants strong light intensity forces the plant to get a suntan (ie: turn red). heh.
    c) low levels of nitrogen (ie; nitrate)

    Bro,

    you'll need more iron and very very soft water... reasonably high light to achieve red. That's all I did and I achieved the following....

    there is a thread entitled: "PLanted Tanks: Articles on Dosing" in the Aquatic FAQ section with loads of info on fertilisation. Locally, individual nutrients can be bought from Dr. Mallick.
