there are many naturally brackish water plants but unfortuantly theyre near impossible to find. But java moss and java fern due quite often inhabit brackish waters. Along with these there are brackish tolerant plants like Vallis, onion plants, tiger lotus, bacopa, and a few select others. These plants will not grow in waters above a sg of 1.005. Brackish tolerant plants like i listed above seem to be really inconsistent though, so people seem to have success with them in brackish waters, others fail miserably. If i were you Id add co2, which seems help greatly with these brackish tolerant plants. This question comes around so much, there really needs to be a pinned article about brackish plants.

Feel free to contribute a thread. If I feel it's worthwhile then it will be pinned or at least a link to the thread.
