Low Light Tank

[Lizzie71]

I have very low light in my tank (1wpg) and some of the plants I have bought are struggling a bit. I want to add a few more, as unfortunately I have had to bin most of the ones I bought as a mixed lot on ebay. Some were not even aquatic plants and some weren't suitable for the low light conditions.

I have found a promising looking ebay shop where I can buy particular plant species, and these are some of the ones I'm considering. Please could someone let me know which (if any) are likely to thrive in my tank? In case it makes any difference, the substrate is small gravel, there is no CO2, and I feed with a liquid fertiliser once a week.

The plants I'm considering are:

elodea densa
amazon sword
bamboo plants
wisteria
java moss

Thanks for your help
