Heather,
If you have any light source at all it is hard to kill java moss, java fern , or watersprite (there are others but these are old standbys for me).

hornwort and elodea. I've also had semi-good luck with the a sword plant of unknown species. Pothos and wandering jew/jenny/creeping charlie (not sure if all of these are exact same species, but they all look kinda the same to me) grow well without any help.

cool! ive heard lots of recommendations for anubias before... i think those will be my next test subjects, since i cant get ahold of any java moss.

Sometimes you find elodea dying. Don't remove it. In my experience it revives once it gets used to the new conditions. Especially different lightning conditions have this effect on it.
