Which Echinodorus species?

[Ben M]

hi, i am looking for an Echinodorus species as a focal point for my 4ft tank, (see journal). the tank is 216l, with 1.25wpg of t8's, and 5mls TPN+ daily. i am thinking of putting it infront of the Hygrophila polysperma and Limnophila sessiliflora just to the left of my bogwood. i am thinking maybe a red colour would contrast well against the greenery. i don't want it to be too tall, maybe about 20cm or so. which species would you recommend?

cheers 😀
