Guess where did I get mine from? From you only Dave. I got it

during
October '02. My water parameters also same as yours except KH4 and

GH5.

Dominic,

I recently shipped some to Dwight at Florida Driftwood.
(http://www.floridadriftwood.com). He suggests that it's a different

color
varient, or even a different species, based on the aforementioned

differences.

I got mine originally from Albany Aquarium in Albany California (just

north of
Berkeley) in February 2002. When I traded them some last week, they

pointed out
the bright red color. Then we did a search of the shop, and noticed

both
distinct varieties for sale in different tanks : the denser, less-red

variety,
and the taller, redder kind.

So I can make the informal observation, based on one uncontrolled data

point,
that the two varieties seem to stay different even when kept in

similar
conditions in the same store. But you could poke a lot of holes in

that
statement!

BTW, Albany Aquaruim has more than 20 tanks filled with healthy plants

for
sale...
