I'd say it's a melon sword too.

Thanks.
I had wanted some red in my tank (red temples are ordered) and reading up on the melon sword I found the leaves will turn red with intense light. Well, mine's turned a beautiful red/brown @ 2 wpg

yeah the red/brown is about all the more red they'll get. I used to have one in my 75, until it got so big I just had to trade it to the fish store.
