Faruk,

I googled and found this photo of Ammania gracilis which looks like your photo. Except it's more orange.

That means Ammania and Nesaea look similar but both of them do not look like the red plant in Herry's the third photo.

Two years ago I had a similar difficult plant with somewhat wavy leaves:

Thanks for enjoying my tank.

Greenmiddlefinger
It don’t have much technique to grow HC and Glossostigma elatinoides on the Rocks. There are lots of holes in my stone and I just fill the soil inside and plant HC and GE into the soil by a pointed pinsetts (ADA). After a certain period it will grow and the roots will attached to the rocks.
Faruk,
Ammania and Nesaea are look similar. However Nesaea grows very slowly. For strong light it can turn into very reddish color like my and will not grow tall. If light is not enough it will turn into orange and elongate.
The large portion of red is done by Ludwigia and behind is Rotala rotundifolia.
Nesaea crassicaulis

Ludwigia plaustris – a very beautiful plant and easily grow

Thank you for the answers and the beautiful photos Harry.

How did rotala at the back stay green? I would expect them to turn to pinkish color.

As far as the books show palustris have a very similar leaf form as repens. What you have looks like Ludwigia arcuata.

What chemicals do you dose with? Also how old was the tank when you took those pictures?

Frauk,
I'm sorry that I'm not good at plant's names, we usually use their Chinese common names in Hong Kong.
I too have the problem of rotala turning into pink due to strong lighting. But I found some of them still remain green. So I put all green rotala at front and those pinky at the back. This make me headach and delay the time of finish this layout.

Zapins,
I use ADA step 1, ECA, TMG, KCL, iron Bottom. To make the red plant red, strong lighting is the major reason not the chemical.
I took 4 months to maintain this layout and photo at that time.
