All of my hygrophilia has pink/red colored new leaves, it's totally pinkish color, no green at all, all the new leaves are like this, is this normal? Takes quite a while for them to turn back to a more greenish color.
You've probably got the Sunset Hygro.

It's a corymbosa compact, anyway I think I found out why they're red, as seen in this pic http://www.dewinters.nl/images/hygrophila%20corymbosa%20compact(3).JPG
they get red when there's alot of light.
Thanks anyway len

if you want a grren plant typically the same green hygro would be your choice.
The veins in the sunset hygro is actually a virus if i recall .
not a bad one though

ok I got a pic of the plant in the tank, does it look normal to you?
All the older leaves are green, just the growing ones are red/pink.
