What plants will do well in cold water low light situations?

I have both axolotls and newts and I need plant ideas for both tanks.
 
At the moment I have :-
Cryptocoryne becketti
Vallisnaria gigantean
Eleocharis parvula
Hygrophla difformis
Elodia densa
Rotala rotundifolium
Pisita stratiotes
Aponogenton natans
Microsorum ptteropus
Taxiphiyllum barberi
All these are doing very well in my C pyrrhogaster aquarium at room temperature in the UK (60f at the moment) so should be fine in a coldwater tank. I'd say they're slower growing at this time of year but seem to be fine otherwise!
 
Thank you :) I will start looking for those plants :)
 
In the Vivaria section of the forum, there's a subsection just for discussions of plants. Read through there and there may be some ideas.

    with axolotls would I basically have to keep buying and buying new axolotls to prevent inbred breeding which costs a lot of money??

    Not necessarily but if you’re wanting to continue to grow your breeding capacity then yes. Breeding axolotls isn’t a cheap hobby nor is it a get rich quick scheme. It costs a lot of money and time and deditcation

    Would Chinese fire belly newts be more or less inclined towards an aquatic eft set up versus Japanese . I'm raising them and have abandoned the terrarium at about 5 months old and switched to the aquatic setups you describe. I'm wondering if I could do this as soon as they morph?
