This is posted on Instagram HERE. The one in the red looks like that Vallisneria rubra (sp?) that I've seen sold. I'm still having trouble believing it is a Vallisneria. Not sure about the other one. I love the scape. Lots of colorful plants but you can tell their lights aren't turned completely red like so many.

Blue looks like Guyana. Not sure about that other, that myrio twister?

Finally found a good link to Val rubra even with a pic of herbarium specimens. HERE
At least in the Instagram example, it looks great.

The guy who posted on IG confirmed Val rubra. I've asked about the one in the blue.
