Hygrophila polysperma 'Rosanervig' grows to a height of 20-30+cm and a width of 6-10cm and is normally an undemanding plant but if you want deep-pink leaves you must provide intensive light. The distinctive colouring of the light leaf ribs is probably caused by a virus which prevents chlorophyll from being produced in the cells around the leaf ribs making them white. However this virus does not affect other plants in the aquarium.
