Which Plants

[jcabs100]

Anyone could give me some ideas on some plants that would be good in my 55 gallon...I wont be running co2 or fertilizer and my lighting is only 15w but I will be changing that

All these plants grow well for me in a 55g with low light and no CO2; Jave fern, vallis, cryptocorynes, Amazon sword, anubias, christmas moss, pygmy chain sword.

Or fertilizer

Well, it's by no means a scientific test but I have no fertilizer or CO2 and my light levels aren't high. My Amozon swords grow really well - they are starting to take over. The Java Ferns, after a slow start are now growing well and my Anubias is going slow and steady.

I had more trouble with Valis and some grassy looking stuff that had a name starting with E (sorry, can't rember it off the top of my head).

Oh, nearly forgot - My Hornwort is growing so well it becomes a nuisance and needs removing every so often and I also have Moneywort which grows quickly but looks a but leggy.

Elodea?

Nope, I've just checked and I think it is Eleocharis. In any event, it didn't do very well in my tank..
