Low Light Plants for Axies

[heather]

I have really bad luck with live plants, and all the fakes are expensive and ugly.

Are there any low light plants that seem to be hard to kill in axolotl tanks?
besides java moss? I cant get ahold of any on the island
(dammit! doncha just loooooove living out in the middle of the ocean!!!)

Anubias is almost invincible, and requires nearly no light. I'd suggest that.

I vote for java fern, anubis is nice too and comes in several varieties.

Yep, I have anubiaa and no artificial light. They grow fine, but the leaves get brown and slimy and have to be pulled off periodically. But apart from that they look good.

Marimo mossballs - CHLADOPHORA AEGAGROPILA is the only low light plant I have experience with. They are doing well so far in the axie tank.

i have some long plant. its twisting something i think. cant remember than name. long skinny leaves like flax stuff. its growing well in the axie tank. gets little light and stays in the sand

corkscrew vallaria? (or something similar).

I have marimo moss balls, had hornwort (killed it off by my own misdoing), java moss, a small sword, and pothos, and all do well.

That twisted plant sounds like either corkscrew valisneria, or crinum (crinium? not sure of exact spelling). The second one has a bulb, whereas the first has simple roots.
