Easy to keep, low-light plants for a large tank?

Hornwort, moneywort, cryptocoryne varieties, anubius, swords, java fern and moss, Vallisnaria, and mosses and cabomba are all worth a shot. sometimes it takes a bit of experimentation to find that thrive will in our specific conditions.

of course, like I like to tell people, the best places to get good advice is at forums dedicated to the subject - in your case something like www.plantedTank.net

First thing I do with my tanks is get a 2 tube florescent 4 foot light fixture at Lowe's of Home depot

.

Then a 4 foot fish tank one tube light fixture

.

I then get daylight bulbs for the two tube fixture

.

And an aquarium tube for the one tube fixture

.

I then have them both attached to their own timer the kind you can get in the hard ware part of the store

.

I set the one tube to come on at sunrise and go off at sunset

.

The two tube light I have set to come on at 10:00am and off at 3:30pm

.

This actual day light in the tank and my plants in both my 55 and 75 tank are jungles

.

The problem with plants will be your Tiger Barbs my friends Barbs uproot them and shred them

If you have low lighting you would be better sticking to ....

java moss

dwarf hairgrass

ludwigia repens

Moss balls

Java fern

Java fern is great in any aquarium. Swords, crypts, and annubias will do well in there. As well as some marimo and moss balls. They help to keep the water levels in check too. Bamboo, it helps to filter sediment, and so do mangroves.

Best of luck :)

Swords inian fern java moss and many more!!!!
