Low Light Plant That Can Take Heavy Water Flow

HI there,

I have a 20 gallon (high) tank with about a dozen fish/inverts. I have jungle val and bacopa (I use Seachem Flourish root tabs), as well as a little bit of java fern attached to some driftwood. I have a waterfall type filter in the middle of the tank and am looking to put a plant below it (as a centerpiece, and also to slow down the current a little). The jungle val is sort of moving towards that area, but isn't thriving in the fast waterflow.

Are there any low light plants that can take a beating from water flow (my lighting is about 1.5 watts per gallon)? I could plant in the gravel substrate or attach to a large piece of driftwood. Any suggestions would be great, thanks!

My dwarf sag does really well in strong currents, but their root systems need to establish before the flow is blasted up. Crypts also did well for me in strong currents. Again, root systems need to be established before the current is turnt up.

Anubias can take quite som current. They come in all sorts and shapes. I do like the big Anubias barterI (not barterI nana), depending on tank dimensions.

It does a great job hiding equipment like the intake of a filter and the heater.
