Can I grow rotal rotundifolia (Rotala Indica) in my 55g with 2.45 wpg? I had Rotala Magenta in my 10g with 2 wpg and it wouldn't grow..not enough light I guess. I have one compact fluorescent 6700K bulb and one CF 10000K bulb in the 55g.

Rotala indica is not as demanding as macrane and
should grow fine under 2.45WPG. It will probably have pinkish
coloration on new growth and green color on the older growth.

Ok thanks. I want something with some color but I know most colorful plants need more light. I just didn't want to buy another plant that would die on me.
