Hi!
I was wondering what kinds of plants will work well in 60-65 degree water without fertalizer or co2. Also low light. I've had anubias that did pretty well for a while and duckweed that almost immediately died. I had a java fern that didn't do too well either. Tank contains an axolotl with no substrate.

Hmmm... that’s a tough one.

If there are any cold water Anacharis sellers near you, that would work. (I find they grow best in warm water though)
 
Salvinia does best in a warm water climate. We are talking about cold water plants. ;)
Salvinia auriculata can be kept in lower temperatures too. Down until 10°C (50°F)

And i keep it in my unheated snail tanks where it thrives way more than in my heated tanks. Heated tanks sit 72-80 depending on inhabitants.

Unheated has gone down to as low as 61F
