Plant ID help

I've had this growing in my tank for at least 6 months, I don't even remember anyone sending it to me or where it came from but, it isn't doing very well and thought I better find out what it is so that I can then figure out its requirements (lighting, etc). Thanks in advance!

i second rotala.

Hmmmm, that would make the most sense as I used to have a very large group of Rotala on the other end of the tank. I always assumed it was something different because it was more pink/reddish throughout than my Rotala ever was, in addition to the sparseness of the leaves themselves. Now I'm just embarassed!

Thanks guys!
