Slow growing red plants

[JSnapp]

Hi everyone

I‘m looking for some slow growing red aquarium plants - ideally on the speed level of Anubias.
Really appreciate any input here

 

[erwin123]

Eriocaulon Quinquangulare aka "Red Erio"
Cryptocoryne Flamingo

Eriocaulon Quinquangulare aka "Red Erio"

would not recommend kept it for like 4 months and it was growing well, after a painful adjustment period. after that i had 6 nice sized plantlets growing well, co2 went off a couple days, and they just melted fully.... they really need a lot of co2. anyway, i should be ordering my next batch of quins soon LOL.

Cryptocoryne Flamingo

currently trying this one, hope it's easier than the red eriocaulon.

Lagenandra meeboldii 'Red' and some of the fancier Bucephalandra varieties might also fit the bill

Gimme more pls
Thanks for the input so far everyone!
I want to add Blyxa Aubertii. Apparently a slow grower? And what about Rotala Florida? I heard it’s not very fast either but beautiful colours 🤔

Libba's 60P

What colour is the dc going? In this picture from 1st October it looks yellow/clear. Might be an idea to get the tank and co2 stable before adding any more critters. Thanks.

You can check out the Floridas in Libba's journal. Very nice plants though technically purple, not red.

Crypt Albida....painfully slow, plant top left!
Grows quicker emersed

I remembered another red one,

Eriocaulon quinquangulare

Say that fast three times in the mirror and Dennis Wong will appear

[Edit: I just realized erwin already suggested this plant, oops ]

The two nymphaea pygmae cultivars I’ve managed to get going in aquarium conditions have predominantly red colouration and are only slightly faster growing than Anubias.

Both of the persicaria I have tried have been painfully slow but very good colours.
