I have a 200L and I have a lot of green plants, Hygrophila Polysperma, Anubias Barteri, Echinodorus Bleheri and I was wondering if there were any red or brown plants that would grow in 1.4wpg light.

I've already decided on Cryptocoryne Wendtii either 'Red' or 'Tropica'.

I got a red one, let me check the name for you.

It's rotala macrandra.

Apparently, it's quite hard to take care of, aquaticcommunity.com says it has high lighting requirements, and should only be kept in water that's less than 25'c. So I'm afraid it might die in my tank. Thanks anyway.

No problem, just wanted to put it out there. It's in my 24 degrees tank with T5 light, maybe this is why I haven't killed it yet. YET :lol:
 
Some of the alternanthera species are not too hard to keep and IME keep their colouration even in lower light. Have a look at alternanthera reineckii :)
