Looking for some low light plants for my 10 gallon, specifically some background plants and midground plants. Something like wisteria, anacharis, or vallisneria and some crypts maybe??? The substrate is sand, lighting is a 15 watt t8 full spectrum light that came with the tank, and I have tetra florapride liquid fertilizer so I'm looking for plants that will do reasonably well in those conditions. Already have moss, driftwood, and anubias nana. If anyone can put together a package that would be great! :)

I have a massive java fern mat sitting in a bucket, it's a beauty, one of my first and I'm all emotional with it, sitting in a bucket is kind of sad though, it was to kill algae..
Ps I could probably trim a couple starter stems of anarchis too, stiff grows like a weed.

Thanks for the offer, Brookster123, but I've had java fern before and never again...
Stuff grew like a weed from two little petsmart cylinders into a mat. Had to every week trim leaves and pick off so many babies that would clog the filter otherwise. I'm glad you enjoy yours, but I never found mine pretty enough to justify the mess. It was my first aquarium plant too!

I have Wisteria, and Corkscrew Val. Bacopa Carolinias, Lobelia Cardinalis, and 1 very small Crypt(not sure what species) came in as a hitchhicker.
 
Foster53, I'm not really interested in the Lobelia Cardinalis, but the others seem like they'd be nice.

Are the anubias pics for this thread?
