Low light aquarium plants?

[augustjd123]

Does anyone know of some low light aquarium plants. I plan on getting a stronger light for my 55 in the future but for now im stuck with marineland LEDs! Any ideas?

Staurogyne Porto Velho is good for low or medium light. Shoot me a PM and I'll send you some.

What is your lighting exactly?

Edit: ludwigia repens is good also. I sent you a PM about them.

I'd add crypts, moss (i.e. flame, peacock, Xmas, etc.), narrow leaf microsword (Lilaeopsis mauritana), dwarf sag, marsilea minuta (or crenata), narrow leaf java fern, and marimo moss balls... all I can think of at the moment.

Hello aug...

Look for dark green aquatic plants. They'll require low light. The light green variety generally take stronger light.

In a tall tank some val's and big ozelot sword would look nice, maybe some crypt mid ground and some narrow leaf chain sword foreground.

For the fore ground some dwarf sag would work. even though its a low light tank I would recommend buying some flourish excel or some other kind of Co2 supplement. Will help with overall health of your plants.
