low-light plant list sticky?

[bluekrissyspike]

i think we should have one because there are always people asking about what plants do well in low light, and also just for referance
:read:for those of us keeping low-light, low-tech plants. what do you think?

i agree and i have great list to share alot better than plant geek and im sure we can but together a bigger list than anywhere online.
people ask me and everyone about low light plants all the time, it seems like 80% of people have low light so it should be an easy find for new people to planted tanks and experienced plant owners.

heres a list i have woked on of low light plants that should easily be part of a list of low light plants, im know there are more plants that could be added to this list but this is a good start

add to that list mini pellia/coral moss (riccardia chamedryfolia)

it's actually growing (albeit slowly) about 15" below water line under just over 1 wpg t-12 as we speak for me. (java moss is dieing it's so dark)
