Jesse use Jave Ferns, They are really the best IME with low lights.

Java may work if you have a tank near a window with the room light.

Anubias(12 varieties...I like broad leaf and nana) Java Fern Java moss, Cryptos(again a good variety) all are low light /maintance place...

Big thin to remember with crypts and anubias is do not bury the root completeley leave the tops sticking out of the gravel.

Sorry just saw you posted again yeah most plants need direct tank lighting

Unless you add some lighting nothing. You can get away with indirect lighting on the tanks for the low light but you need plant bulbs.
