Red plants

Red aquarium plants add a colorful boost to any aquarium and are a popular choice among aquascapers and enthusiasts who want to create clear contrasts with green plants. They add depth, focus and a dynamic expression - perfect for creating eye-catching scapes or highlighting specific areas in your planted aquarium.

Plants with red pigmentation, such as Alternanthera reineckii, Ludwigia palustris 'Super Red', Rotala rotundifolia 'Blood Red' and Ammania gracilis, often require bright light, CO₂ addition and good nutrition to show their full color splendor. With the right conditions, you will get intense reddish to burgundy shades that create drama and life in the layout.

Red plants are often used as background or mid-zone plants, and are strategically placed in the golden ratio to maximize their visual impact. They also work great as color accents in nano and show aquariums.
