Looking for a CA/SA plant

[craigthor]

Looking for a CA/SA plant to put in my tank. Currently has Hygrophilia Austrialus(sp) which my wife likes but I prefer biotope correct plants. Tank is CA themed. Looking for something similar to the hygro but need low light requirement as I try and keep the lights dim but have 2 65 watt PC bulbs over the tank. Tank is a 75 no CO2 either.

Keeping plants with those fish isn't easy. They love pulling them up.

Sword plants? Crypts? Vals?

Not really into the swords, most crypts and vals I've seen are from asia.

There are a lot of different types of swords not sure which are appropriate, I was looking at this site for SA set up.

Brazilian Pennywort, Amazon Frogbit (floating plant), Pygmy chain sword is more grass like than your typical sword.
