I want to add plants to my 20 gallon high tank.
The water temp is 80.
pH is 8.
I have 4 black mollies.
I only have fake plant right now and a fake skull and I am using gravel as substrate.
Tank is fully cycled, and has a 15w aqueon flourescent bulb. I think 6500k

What are some good plants to add that will grow in my gravel. Are there any good low light plants? And how should I go about starting to add my plants.

Thanks for the help!
 
I'm not much of a expert but Molly's need salt in the water I don't know If the plants would like that. But Anubis Nana would work well I think.
 
You have very low light especially with a taller tank. About all you could do is Crypts in the substrate which will need root tabs, and Anubia's, Java Fern's, and Bolbitus for tying onto DW or rocks.
