Red Plants
The most desirable of all aquarium plants are the red/purple variety. Red aquatic plants are on the whole a bit more tricky that most other types of aquarium plants due to their higher light requirements (this is how they get their colour) - without intense light red/purple coloured aquarium plants tend to fade somewhat. You can overcome this by helping them along their way and provide your aquatic plants with plentiful CO2, lots of fertilisers and of course lots of light.
