Try amazon swords, any kind of anubias, java fern, water wisteria, water sprite, hornwort, anacharis, and most variety of crypts. They're all fairly hardy plants that does well without high light.
so what kind of lights can i do to get more light? i have a home made hood with two garage style light assemblies each with two lights. thats all i can fit under there i need something that is thinner so i can put more bulbs in there. and wher can i get some of these plants?
IF you want to retrofit your hood with PC lights, I recommend something from www.ahsupply.com. But remember that higher light means more work (CO2, ferts, etc).
Most of the plants I listed are pretty common and you should be able to find them at most LFS or shops like Petsmart. If all else fails, online retailers like www.aquabotanic.com and www.aquariumplants.com will definately have them.
