From what I could find, that light fixture is 17w which is pretty low light.
You could try some Java fern/moss, anacharis, wisteria.

Definitely low light. Are you planning on ordering plants or are you going to try and buy locally? If you have ready access to a Petsmart and their packaged plants, give their anubias nana, java fern, and Amazon sword (Echinodorus amazonicus) a go. I started out with a 37 gal with standard lighting and grew java fern and Amazon sword w/o any issues. As the PP mentioned, java moss is great in low light as well.

I also bought amazon swords from petsmart and have a 29 gallon with stock lighting.. The plants are doing well, grew about 3 times the size when purchased. I am however going to be buying a new lighting setup that is t5ho so I can get more plants.. You should be fine with a stock light and the plants listed above.
