Unfortunately, there aren't a lot of plants that are both suitable for a low-light environment and a good foreground plant, but I suppose it depends on what you want in a foreground plant.

PlantGeek is an excellent reference in this case, as their plant guide offers several ways to sort plants... such as:

Low-light plants
- or -
Foreground plants

APC also has a plant finder resource that allows you to specify lighting or placement, but it may require registration. That can be found here

java ferns are good low light plants, and pretty hardy, i have a piece of bamboo in one of my tanks actually and it's doing pretty well, but i have no idea exactly what it is, it was my girlfriends in an ADF tank before but is just hanging out in one of my 10 gallon tanks now

EDIT: oh, and i also use anubias in my 10 gallon too

I have really good luck with the smaller crypts as foreground plants in low light tanks.
