Live Plants for a 15g Eclipse Tank

The three best plants for a low light environment are Java Fern, various Anubias, and Crypts. Probably in that order.
I've had several growing well in my Eclpse 12 for the past six weeks. I have the following and am using the standard bulb/tube that came with the system:
1) some type of Anubias (low light)
2) Anacaris sp? it's a floating vine/weed for cover for some expected platy fry.
3) A varigated Japanese grass (unknown name) that is doing well.
4) Ludwegia repens (mod/high light) this is the one I initially worried about since my tank obviously isn't anything but a low light tank. To my surprise, it's doing great and growing fine. I'm getting ready to trim a few shoots off and starting them in my other tank.
Hope that helps.

Also Bolbitis, Java Fern, and believe it or not Amazon Sword. Also you can always upgrade your lighting if you can find the bulbs with a higher kelvan.
