Some kind of rotala? Leaves don't look fine enough to be rotundifolia but maybe? High light and low N levels can give many species of rotala a nice deep red hue.

Welcome to AA by the way!

It kind of looks like R. rotundifolia but the lower leaves look awfully long. Another thought would be Ludwigia arcuata. Try checking plantgeek.com for pictures that you can compare your plant to.

Thank you newfound for that great site, i did some more searching on the rotala genus and found this is probably a narrow-leaf rotala magenta.
