    Java moss is the most common and arguably least demanding, so you would want to start with that.

    Anubias are good choices are well, though they are slightly more costly, and grow quite slowly.

    Pelia did well for me, Duckweed grew in heaps in a tank that i had without chiller or CO2. i have seen non-CO2 tanks with fissidens, beautiful but boy do they cost much.

    I never had much success with mini and us fissidens in low-tech tanks and I have largely attributed the reason to non chiller cool waters.

    actually, it is what the hobbyist think. plus the very important fact of growth rate...
    i find having co2 enrichment with adequate fert dosage really speed up growth of plants.
