I was asking as that red one to the bck left looks like rotola macranda which requires bright light.

Does it look something like this?

They were only pics anyway, why dont you upgrade lighting and co2, even if it is just a nutrafin yeast based or a diy set up.

Dont throw it, someone will have it, post on pinned thread at top of page.

just out of interest,where would i find info on where to buy and how much each plant would need,ans is it as tricky as i think it is

 

[shelaghfishface]

Rotala macrandra----------GREEDY WITH CO2 AND REQUIRES GOOD LIGHTING

plantgeek is also a great website, you can search for your lighting requirements, co2 levels, if they need ferts and which kind, height etc.
