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. |
Correct me if im wrong but i thought that Rotala indica bonsai and ammania sp bonsai ended up being the same plant? Co2 is something i can consider down the road maybe, so that might make the plant choices easier.

An easy red plant you can try is Ludwigia arcuata. It just needs good light and iron to turn red. |
Thank you. I had wanted a erio foreground but im pretty shure thats imposible lol. I do like the bigger erios over the smaller ones thats for sure. I have seen some newer big ones that i am really envios for. I dont think i could plop that much money down on a plant again though.
