I think that's Alternanthera reinekii.

That's Hemigraphis repanda. Not aquatic.

Thanks Cavan. House of Tropicals was selling that as an aquatic plant.

That looks to be the same stuff Bev got in under the name Dragon Flame. So Cavan, how does that stuff grow since its not aquatic and it dried out and died on Cristy when it wasnt in a tank?

It probably has to do with acclimation. I've seen it growing in relatively dry situations (parks, etc).
