Yeah... I'm not claiming to be an expert, but I've done "a ton" of
research
as I have kept aquatic plants for several years now. I've always
heard/read
about red plants requiring more light. It's also been my experience that
red plants I've kept in the past (such as Diandra and E. Rubin) have
always
faltered when the lighting wasn't strong enough (while other plants were
able to prosper).


Like everybody else, I've read this in many many places too. I got a
reddish/purplish plant and it died in my low-light tank within a couple
weeks.
