'Colorata' and is apparently a form of the very variable species R. rotundifolia. There are several forms of R. rotundifolia in a trade that attain a more or less intensive red colour when cultivated submersed, e.g. the plants erroneously sold under the name \"Rotala indica\". R. rotundifolia 'Colorata' turns a reddish hue even under moderate light. Under strong light, it develops a pretty red colouration.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRotala SP Colorata is another variation of Rotala Roundtifoilia. Rotala SP Colorata doesn't need much to grow, but like other Rotala, it will do better with better lighting and co2. Rotala SP Colorata will change colour based on the lighting and co2. Its leaves are narrow, and it sends off a bunch of side shoots.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCare Level: Easy\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLighting Requirement: Medium-High\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGrowth Rate: Fast\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOrigin: Unknown\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTank Placement: Midground-Background\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSelling as emersed plant\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003cstrong style=\"color: #ff2a00; text-align: center; font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, 'San Francisco', 'Segoe UI', Roboto, 'Helvetica Neue', sans-serif; font-size: 1.4em;\"\u003eNote:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWe can’t ship Livestock and Live Plants to WA and TAS due to State Restrictions. Kindly check out our DOA and other policies before purchase!!\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOther things to consider before placing an order:\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e* Check to see if your tank has enough space.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e* Ensure your tank is fully cycled.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e* Ensure your new livestock is compatible tank mates for any other fish you currently have (in terms of habitat, species, requirements, temperament, and size)\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e* Ensure that your water parameters, habitat and temperature are suitable for the species you want to introduce.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e* Do not stock your tank too quickly, or suddenly a large influx of fish can unbalance your water parameters that will affect the water quality.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e* Do not feed your new fish for 24hrs.
