A beautiful, rare/newer to the hobby lily. In this case rare does not equal difficult to keep. For me, it's been similar to red tiger lotus to grow.
It develops two leaf forms - lower green and maroon, deeply patterned leaves first. Then, bright magenta leaves that shoot toward the surface and look stunning on the way up. One of the most intense red/pinks I've seen in plants. She is also a night bloomer and will occasionally send up white flowers, which open in the evening over several days. Sends ample runners out for propagation.

Growing notes: think tiger lotus. Medium or higher light. Co2 not necessary. Does not appreciate root disturbance and being moved. Like a crypt, I often see a few leaves melt after relocating one, but they bounce back quickly. 

First two photos are mature plants in my display. Note it's a 30" tall tank, these get big, but you could keep them trimmed for a nano tank.
Your bidding on plants like the 3rd photo. Smaller runners that have not yet started sending out pink leaves. 

Up to 3 available.
Cash preferred, can do venmo.
