Do you know the wattage of light you have in your aquarium? Knowing this (and the size of the aquarium) will help us in assisting you with your future plant selections.

Just from the info you have given, I would recommend anything from Cryptocoryne, Java Fern, Anacharis, and even Micro Sword. This is a group of plants that requires low to moderate light. Basically, if you have about 2.5 watts per gallon, the above-mentioned plants should be able to prosper (although you need more than lighting for your plants to grow).
