Let me back up a little. I'm not sure whether it's ammania sp bonsai or Rotala indica bonsai. I don't know how to tell the difference between the two. What I have was sold to me as Rotala indica bonsai. I hear that they are slow growers and like nutrients at the roots.

A red plant that might work and does well without CO2 is Combomba frucata. Crownman is growing it quite well without CO2. You would have to trim it but it would give you that beautiful red color. It's not small though. There is another small red/green that is Rotala sp 'araguai' but I think it needs CO2.
