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.

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. Mark "Haywire" wrote in message 5.104...
