Minimal lighting and plants

[leafs]

I realize that most plants need a lot of light, but my 30 gal tank can only hold a 20 watt bulb. I really don't want to have to purchase a new canopy. What plants would be recommended for my low light set up. I've never had plants before and I'd like to keep it as simple as possible.


Thanks

What about Westeria?
Looks great, and grew in my tank with brely any light, and no special fertilizers or anything.

I find the plants on this list work very well for low light tanks. Proven Plant Preformers.
