Default "low light" plants

|| Another question folks:
||
|| I just bought an assortment of "low light" plants from an aquatic
|| plant vendor. The order includes:
||
|| 2 Anubias Barteri Reg
||
|| 2 Anubias Nana Reg
||
|| 2 Java Fern
||
|| 2 Bolbitis Heudelotii
||
|| 2 Cryptocoryne Blassi
||
|| 1 Anubias Show
||
|| This assortment was labeled as "low light" by the vendor. I want to
|| add these to a 10 gal. tank with a 15 watt fluorescent bulb that
|| produces wavelengths of light optimal for plant growth (not sure of
|| the brand). Are these plants difficult to maintain in these
|| conditions? Just just wondering what to expect. Many thanks in
|| advance for your help.

You'll be able to maintain the looks, but growth will be slow... Adding
ferts will keep it's color, and help growth, but don't expect anything
'overnight' and it may be longer than 6 months before they stabilize, show
some growth, and multiply... My low light tank, grows small specimens well,
but nothing gets 'big'....
