The leaf shape threw me off as there are 3 or 4 species that look the same! Especially when grown invitro!

Ah, those ones were potted rather than invitro, but the buce was fairly small!
I think this tank may class as "heavily planted" now... will post a pic later in the tank log...

Ok heres the answer you've been waiting for

No. 4 on the first picture was Rotala rotundifolia 'red'
Hoping I get at least a pink tinge to the green, I'm not expecting full on red as I don't have the 'full spectrum' lighting or any substrate nutrients.. have thought about root tabs, but I may just stick with EI ferts.. if I start getting BBA I may ditch that idea andd go for TNC lite or equivalent without phosphates or whatever it is that increases the risk of BBA... CO2 should help right
