    Hard to judge by the pic. Doesn't look like Anacharis. Preliminary guess would be Frill or Red Foxtail. But you said it is red so that would take Frill out of the mix.

    Would it be possible to get a pic of it in the tank? That way it may be fuller for comparison.

    Agreed! That pic kind of misses the base, which is important to see.... that and its overall size!

    Hard to tell by the picture, as it seems to appear brown and dying/dead.
    Here's my guess (blood stargrass)
