Top 5 Easiest Plants for Low-Light Tanks

High-intensity lighting and CO2 injection aren't necessary for a beautiful planted tank. Here are five bulletproof plants that will grow well in almost any standard aquarium setup.

1. Anubias Nana: This plant is nearly indestructible. It prefers to be attached to driftwood or rocks rather than planted in the substrate.
2. Java Fern: Another epiphyte that's incredibly hardy. Its unique leaf structure adds great texture to an aquascape.
3. Java Moss: This versatile moss can be used to create carpets, cover driftwood, or be left to float. Shrimp love it.
4. Cryptocoryne wendtii: A great midground plant that comes in various colors (green, bronze, red). It might "melt" when first introduced but will grow back stronger.
5. Marimo Moss Ball: Technically a form of algae, these charming spheres require almost no care. Just drop them in and enjoy.
