Here's a foreground plant you've probably not seen before. Ranalisma rostrata - SHORT, bright green aquarium plant that spreads rapidly via runners to form a lush carpet. This is NOT E. tennelus. Ranalisma rostrata stays short - around 1.5" in height

This version of red was developed by Robert Gasser, a famous grower in the 70s. He passed away a couple of years ago. It has a leaf shape like a red rubin, but much darker red. It grows slowly, needs only moderate light and is a heavy root feeder. Needs lots of nitrogen at the roots.
