Ammannia gracilis, commonly known as Red Ammannia, is a stunning aquarium plant species that develops a rich red-pink colouration when kept in good conditions. While slower growing than A. senegalensis, this plant is well worth the wait, as its mature form is quite spectacular.

The most notable feature of this plant is its large, bright red leaves. Wavy edges also develop on the leaves as they age and grow in size, adding even more visual interest to an already striking plant.

However, this plant is rather demanding and requires specific conditions to thrive. It does best in soft water with high lighting and CO2 injection. These conditions help promote faster and healthier growth, resulting in a bushy plant that can add a stunning splash of colour to your aquarium.

If you're looking for a stunning and eye-catching addition to your high-tech aquarium, Ammannia gracilis (Red Ammannia) is an excellent choice. While this plant may be more demanding than other options, the end result is well worth the effort. With the right care and conditions, you can enjoy a beautiful and healthy plant that will enhance the visual appeal of your aquarium.
