I'm trying to get some red plants growing in one of my scapes, and I'm having awful trouble finding any that'll take, even with bright white/blue/red light, CO2 injected to 20mg/L and weekly ferts.
So far red nymphaea zenkeri red lotus has taken beautifully but everything else I've tried has just turned into a decrepit pile of dead, including:
Red root floaters live but they just stay green with black roots, I have trouble getting them to turn red. All green and brown plants in the aquarium are fluorishing beautifully, it's just the red plants that won't take.
Cheers
