Alternanthera Reineckii VAR. Roseafolia Telanthera Freshwater Red Stem Live Aquarium Plant

Could just be luck of the draw, but I've purchased this same aquarium plant from various sellers including local fish stores and online stores, and have never had one succeed. For some reason, this one has thrived for nearly two months now. It is well established at this point, so I'm confident it will continue to thrive. And I have it in an African Cichlid tank! Everyone tries to say you can't have a planted African Cichlid tank, but I decided not to believe the internets on that one and quite frankly, I now have a thriving planted African Cichlid tank and this plant is right in the center foreground. Oh yeah, I also don't listen to people about which plants should go in the foreground, lol.Oh, but fair warning: The color of these plants is affected by many factors, so your plant is not likely to be just all solid red the way the picture shows it. It's more red, purple, and brownish-green, and beautiful. If you're looking for pure red plants, good luck with that, but you're probably going to have to buy plastic ones.

Beautiful, flawless plants. Brings so much vibrant colors. However I am new to aquarium keeping and have lost the vibrant color, I am colorblind so now they just look green, however I am told they still have a red tone. Perhaps supplements and increased lighting will help bring the colors back, as my floating plants have also dimminished in color, (red root floaters now orange/green)

Beautiful plant and looked great in my freshwater tank. But, its not growing. My tank is outside and I have two koi fish with other plants. Hornwort which is really growing great and a pot of waterlilies. Its a 100 gallon tank. It is outside and I have a water heater to keep the temperature around 68-70 F. It just didn't make it for some reason.

The plant looked okay but it was not red. I always now put them plants I get from the internet in water for a few days to make sure there are no guests (snails, and other not wanted items). Unfortunately the plants died. This was my fault not the fault of Mainam. The other plant that I ordered from Mainam is still doing great.

The plant was healthy but not red like in the picture. But I'd buy again.

Flourishing when arrived, but after a few days in tank it started dying. I'm sure not all plants and tanks are the same, therefore you don't know how the plant will react.

I went the cheap route, and you get what you pay for. I have never ordered aquatic plants online. This experience makes me hesitant to try it again. Over all presentation when I opened the box was not good. Multiple cutting were broken (maybe they will root and grow). After rinsing the slime and decaying plant material at least the color resembled the photo stock image. I will edit this review if they ever appear to root and grow.

Plant arrived in a package and the red one i ordered had bright colored leaves on it. It has been about a month and its flourishing in the tank with my angelfish.
