What aquarium plants need only low light?

Posted by : admin

I am wanting to place a few live plants in my newer aquarium but don’t really want to buy a stronger light. I am just wondering if there are plants that will do ok in lower light. I have a 20 gallon tank and it came with an overhead flourescent light that is only 15 watts. Any plants that would be ok with that lighting?

    It is going to be tought to get anything to grow with such a low light level. Anubias, java fern, most mosses, cryptocoryne walkerii and wendtii should be able to make it. You could probably get some floating plants to grow, duckweed, frogbit, etc.
