Can anyone give me an id on the plant that is the closest to the front in this picture? The guy at the store didn't know what it was. It seems to have roots growing from where the leaves come out of the stem as well as at the bottom. You can see in the second picture the underside of the leaves have a reddish or purplish tint to them. It is a little difficult to take care of a plant when you don't know what it is.

It looks like a Ludwigia Repens that has not received enough light. They get red on the underside of the leaf in higher light.
 
Thanks! After looking it up I think that is definitely what it is. I moved it a few days ago and the new tank has much better light and it already looks better than it did.
