Anyone have any suggestions for plants that would do well in a low light, cold water tank? I’ve got amazon swords, Anubia, Java fern. I am looking for rooted and floating plants. I am looking at anacharis, would this do well?

Very low light. I don’t have a light on the tank at all actually, but sometimes I open my window so it gets very indirect sunlight. The water is not cloudy, it is just a reflection. Ignore my basket of craft supplies and the closet door. I’m too lazy to shut it.
make sure to give it indirect light, anacharis will melt if you do not give it light it happened to me

I’m interested in this too. I have Java ferns doing kinda ok in one of my two axies tanks. The other has silk vines from Exo Terra recommended by @itiwhetu . Very nice soft realistic fakes

That clogged the filters in my goldfish tank. Maybe I should have fenced it in with a tubed loop like Bruce L.- J does?

Your room appears to have far more ambient light than my axie room, so perhaps you’ll do better with live plants. Mine are in a darkened room, kept 60-65F.
yes
use 4 or 3 bendy plastic straws to make a square or circle, a lot cheaper

Love that idea! Not to mention my straws are in bright neon colors, ever so much prettier than that ugly old tubing.
i make them in translucent green and yellow so it looks invisible
