need low light plants

[Slevin]

do any of you know of any hardy plants that can be kept in low light aquariums with cichlids ( convicts and a JD)? I currently have java ferns with my them but would like to add more variety. Pics of the plants would be great. Thanks.:help:

I just did the same thing you're doing. Here's what you'll be told:

Hornwort
Anacharis
Anubias
Java Moss

God Luck!

Sorry that I couldn't reply sooner. I have a 55 gallon tank with two 15 watt t5 florescent lights.:dance2:

I know, I'm gonna upgrade. Right now my Java ferns are fine though.
