I bought some plants today, it was a bunch plant marked as "Rotala Indica" and it seems that's the default marking, this plant is very red and even has red stalks. it looks like macrandaa, but with narrow leaves.

Sorry the picture is dark, I missed the main lights turning off.
 
I know my "rotala indica" ( actually R. rotundifolia) is only a bit read tinged, and the stalks are not red at all...

Pending a better picture I'd agree with the macrandra ID.
 
could it be alternanthera reineckii? it's hard to tell from the pic, but that was my first thought...
 
oops--my bad--totally NOT alternathera! not in any way shape or form. sorry.
 
After looking around for macranda var. narrow leaf. I found Rotala Magenta (Rotala Macaranda var. Narrow), I am pretty sure that is what it is.
