Brian,
Definitely could be Val. This plant can be small when nutrient deficient.
Red color can mean phosphate deficiency. Check the edges of the leaves to
see if they are serrated (zagged), a characteristic of Vallisneria. I have
changed some neat looking short val to normal size by feeding it
phosphates. I have seen Val only 1-2 inches tall.
