thanks, i just found it on a website. Its latin name is hemigraphis colorata
or "Broad Leaf Flame Ivy"

Looks like im going to have to find a replacement.

Damned non-aquatic plants, they always look so good.

Your red one, it has purple on top of the leaves, green on the bottom, a
relatively hard/brittle stem, sadly it's a not a true aquatic, mine has
all
but disappeared. I got mine for free from the LFS. I can't remeber it's
latin name, it wasn't important once I found that it wasn't a full
aquatic.

Could someone help me identify some plants in my tank

The big green one in the back left corner, the one with the leaves
touching the surface??

The red one in front of it, it has textured leaves, almost like melted
paint??

Any other comments appreciated by the way, im new to planted tanks.
