Rotala Magenta, Red Ludwigia, Red Foxtail, Red Flame, Scarlet Hygro though some are mid or background plants.

We sell a lot of Red Cabomba (30 - 80cm +), Cherry Leaf (15 - 40cm), Red Dracena (up to around 50cm), and Purple Stricta (12 - 25cm). All very nice looking red coloured plants

Hope that helps

dracena is a non aquatic plant so dont buy it
it will rot and pollute your tank

My all time fav springs instantly to mind: Rotala Rotundifolia
Also consider:
Barclaya longifolia
Rotala Macrandra
Rotala sp. 'Colorata'
Ludwigia arcuata
Ludwigia glandulosa
Ludwigia repens 'Rubin'

These are three easyish red plants to keep

Alternanthera reineckii 'rosaefolia'
Ludwigia repens
Rotala rotundifolia

Just looked at the aquamania website and saw this statement "Substitutions may take place if a particular plant is out of stock and this will be at our discretion". I'd be well peeved off if I'd ordered a particular plant I wanted only to find I'd been sent another one. Surely it'd be much better for customer relations to ask them what they wanted to do. Rant over.

Thanks for pointing that out. This statement was incorrectly put back on our website when we updated our category descriptions but it's now been changed back again. We used to substitute plants without asking but realised our mistake and now always ask the customer if they want to substitute or if they want to wait a little longer until the plant comes back in stock.

I'm sure you'll agree that this is the best way.
