Why are my sword plants turning red in axie tank?

I've always thought that sword plants were green. The ones I have in my tank have always been green. I recently as of about less then a week or so I purchased a plant light. It has low to medium lighting bulbs.

The Sword plants leaves are turning bright red. They aren't wilting or dieing, and are getting bigger and bigger everyday.

Are there species of Sword plants that are red? Some of the leaves have red spots while others are all red. It is rather becoming, but I hope that it is not because my plants are dieing or something and just tricking me.

I'll post up some pictures when I get some time. Been too busy lately to get any.

    with axolotls would I basically have to keep buying and buying new axolotls to prevent inbred breeding which costs a lot of money??

    Not necessarily but if you’re wanting to continue to grow your breeding capacity then yes. Breeding axolotls isn’t a cheap hobby nor is it a get rich quick scheme. It costs a lot of money and time and deditcation

    Would Chinese fire belly newts be more or less inclined towards an aquatic eft set up versus Japanese . I'm raising them and have abandoned the terrarium at about 5 months old and switched to the aquatic setups you describe. I'm wondering if I could do this as soon as they morph?
