Plants With Incandecent Lighting

[Fishhub]

Hi, I kept reading all the good things about aquatic plants. But I only have incandecent lighing in my tank, are there any plants that would do well in that tank? It is 10 gallons.

You can keep low light basic plants probably all you'd want to get into anything. When you get into the fancy high light auaqascapes you usually have a lot more to worry about than just lights

So probabaly like Anubias or something.

Can you get the screw-in CFL bulbs? They fit into normal incandescent light sockets and have a more punch than incandescent bulbs. Probably won't throw you into high light or anything but it gives plants a little more to work with. I know there's some low-light plant lists floating around the internet. I'm too tired to google them up, but they shouldn't be too hard to find.

AS a matter of fact I was trying to look for compact florecents but my LFS didnt have any.

Oh no, just think outside the box. Try the hardware or department store
