What are the best plants to keep in a tank with low lighting besides Java Moss? I have a ten gallon with led lights on it from Marineland, and I'm looking for other plants to put in there. I am going to put Java Moss in for sure. Thanks in advance for any ideas.

In low light I've had the best experience with anubias. They are hardy and can be introduced to a new tank. Crypts need a more mature tank and benefit greatly from root tabs. But if you have a stable system and don't mind the little extra work, crypts are the way to go! I'm in love with mine!

Thanks guys, Anubias looks great. Its funny because I already have one in my tank, and didnt know what it was lol. So Java Moss, and Anubias, and water sprite is good for low light? Does a floating plant actually float, or is it tall and flows in the water? I'm pretty new at this lol.

Their are two forms of water sprite , floating form and potted form. The floating form obviously does better than the potted ,but the potted form can be floated also. Just wanted to pass that along because finding the floating form has been next to impossible for me to find in stores and online. I've tried everywhere with no success in finding it.
