I thought that this stuff doesn't need that much light... also trying
to find a light fixture for this tank is going to be hard since its so
small. Do you have any suggestions?


Sort of, but no.

"Low light plants" like mosses, java ferns, Anubias and Cryptocorynes
will all grow in low light. But, in the wild they're found in full
sun and do better - spectacularly so - with more light.

"Can grow in dim light" is not the same as "prefers dim light".
As far as I know there are no aquatic plants that prefer dim light.
