Myriophyllum Tuberculatum

Myriophyllum tuberculatum, better known as red milfoil, is a feathery stem plant whose finely divided leaves flush pink to deep red under strong lighting. The delicate, needle-fine foliage forms a soft, cloud-like mass that makes a gorgeous backdrop for showing off fish. It's demanding of light and CO2, but rewards the effort with color few plants can match.
