As some of you know I'm currently running a 5g with a moss wall. For those of you who don't I will attach a pic. The problem is, however beautiful it is to me, it's also quite dull. When I look at the tank I see green, green, green.
Does anyone have any success with glut, EI and reddish plants? So no co2 system. Or maybe another colour of plants?

Note: the moss wall has grown quite a bit since this pic :)

Give ludwigia species red a try. Appears to be less demanding than other red plants. Fast grower. I think A carbon source (glut/excel) is better than none.
All that green reminds me of my tank a couple of years back; after adding DIY CO2 the broadleaf chain swords took off! Jungle fever.

Hygrophila pinatifida can take on different colours in different conditions

Like fresh said most ludwigias will do ok
