I'm just wondering what type of red plants you can put in a tank
It all depends on your lighting as non-green plants require higher levels of light along with CO2 or liquid carbon daily. The only non-green plant that you can pretty much use in any set up tho is Red Tiger Lotus. It will need root tabs in the substrate to fertilize it. So what is the tank size, type of lighting, and bulbs? Also do you use CO2 or liquid carbon? What ferts?
Are you dosing ferts per EI or PPS- Pro? If not, I would highly suggest looking into them. It would expand your horizons greatly. What kind of LED? That matters alot, too.
I did have some algae when I reesacped
Colored plants you can use to name a few are Limnophila hippuroides, Cabomba Furcata, Rotala's Wallichii, Macrandra, Magenta, Mini Butterfly, Ludwigia's sp Red, Atlantis, Senegalis, and a ton of others in that family. If you look at my albums in the link under my signature you can view pic's of all these plants in the various albums.
