Looking for red Rotalas - Nature Aquarium Society of Houston (NASH)

I'm looking for either Rotala 'colorata' or 'magenta'. Anyone have some they might be willing to trade/sell?

Thanks,
John

Don't have any red rotalas, I do have some (what I was told)Ludwigia Brevipes. I think it is the wrong ID, the plant I have is much more dense and a lot more red than any Brevipes I have seen. I know it is not the Rotalas you are asking for, but you are welcome to it.

John, I have some colored rotala; I say colored and not red because it depends on your tank parameters. If no one has those plants you are looking for I can give you some rotala butterfly and colorata.

Kevin,
I'm looking primarily for Rotalas because I'm already going to use L. arcuata & inclinata, so I need a different leaf shape. Thanks for offering.

Paul,
The R. 'colorata' would be great if you can spare some. I don't need much, 10-15 stems would be enough. I haven't tried R. butterfly yet. How do you like that one?

Thanks guys!

No problem

I will have my red plant id by tommorow I think. They were given to me at the plant fest. I'll post as soon as I get an id, but think they are rotala.

Well, seems it is not rotala. b It is:
Polygonum sp "Kawagoeanum"
