I got this from the LFS labeled as RRF, but it doesn't look exactly like the RRF I've seen other people post. It's definately got some red, but it's very small and the roots do not have the featheryness I've seen. the leaves are about 1/4" diameter and the longest roots are about 2"
@Firemedic your plants are not Red Root Floaters. Red root floaters 100% don't have that sheen/shiney/glossy top...this is what red root floaters look like..these are my plants:

I might have some for sale[/QUOTEIs be willing to buy that and if you have arazolla or water lettuce
Actually mine are RRF. This was them when I first got them. There was nothing else mixed in. I know this because I put each one in by hand to make sure there were no other species.
The color of roots and leaves are often influenced by environmental factors like water nutrients and light intensity. They are therefore not very reliable for plant identification. But the anatomical (structural) features of plants are very stable across environments.
Since we know that red root floaters are populated through runners, when there is no runner and yet the plants keep populating themselves, we know that they cannot be red root floaters.
Taari - Not RRF
Firemedic269 - Not RRF
chris.rivera3 - That's RRF
mistahoo - Not frogbit. That's water lettuce
bluestems - I think you nailed what Taari has.
RRF propagates through runners, creating great big chains of RRF, not 4 leaf clusters. New leaves tend to curl up at the sides and overlap existing leaves, and with proper lighting you get little white flowers.
