What kind of plant is this?

Stumbled across this youtube video the other day and I was wondering if someone could tell me what the red floating plant is.

YouTube - Danio 30 gallon

the plant isnt red actually. It looks like frogbit or salvinia. I think the redish stuff is some kind fo reflection or growth on the glass. You can tell by watching the fish changes pinkish colour when they swin past the spots.

It is red rooted floaters, the roots are actually a pinkish red color and when the plant get a lot of light the leaves will turn reddish and little white flowers will appear.

Yea i think so too. Never seen those look quite so red/pinkish, and was a it confused that some are not pink, referring to the ones in the back. Maybe they have a mix of floating plants.
