My wife came home with three new plants... After a good clean I decided to put them in thye tank. But I'm not sure if this plant is aquatic.
Has small leaves and "pink flowers" , below are the pictures...

Any idea? Thanks

:confused:
 
Rotala Rotundifolia (or Indicta as it is mostly mislabeled at the store). Sorry, it is likely the flowers will die off as that is emersed growth. Other than that it is a nice plant that grows well under just about any light but will lose it's red if not under at least medium light.

Thanks Bert, Really appreciate it.
 
It does grow roots and will benefit from root tabs. All plants need iron so supplement away, of course too much can be bad. Anyway, color is more dependent on light not iron levels.
