    I have Hygrophila Polysperma "Sunset" or "Rosanervig" in my 2feet low tech tank and they are doing well. They have red veins in the leaves and I expect a even more vibrant red if it is in a high-tech tank. You can try it out, each packet in Seaview is even less than $1. This is one of most easier and undemanding red leaves plant, I think.

    Rotala Red, Red Tiger Lotus. Red plants do need Fe dosage. Weekly once after water change will be insufficient enough.
