Your favorite red plants without co2:

repens or Barclaya Longifolia

Alternathera Reinekiii (sp from memory)

Crypt wendtii bronze

I like the speckled patterns on the ozelot swords

A nicely colored red into purple lobelia cardinalis is nice too.
 
wow, nice call on that lobelia cardinalis. that looks like an interesting plant, it's too bad it grows so tall with the flower stock, otherwise it would be great in a paludarium. you'd need maybe 2-3 feet to really let it do it's thing though, huh?

and also good call on the Alternanthera Reineckii, I saw Plantbrain mention that recently as well. Looks like a fantastic specimin, although probably would prefer co2. I've never tried it, but will probably try to score a bunch soon.

There is a smaller form of lobelia cardinalis.

Ive grown the Aternathera in a 60 with t12 and no co2 and it grew fine. Alldepends on the tank.
