    The green one is Anubia, and the red one (IMO) is not aquatic.....

    Hey Dewald. Green is Anubia as said by @Cheetah. The red plant looks like Ludwigia.

    It could also be Alternanthera Sosefolia. They look so much alike. HTH

    Alternanthera soseflora. Ludwigia has a more sharp looking leave like A. reineckii.

    @DewaldC,no lets stick with rosaefolia,we can't get any Tropica plants into S.A and yours has almost certainly been cultivated locally.

    @Rudi In conclusion:

    Anubias barteri var nana
    Alternanthera reineckii


    Probably grown in asian countries.
