I was wondering because it one of those normal light bulbs, 15w can I plant it with Low light plans or will they all die? 10gallon: 8neons 5gallon: 1betta 1oto 2platys

Like you have a top on your tank that has a 15W incandescent lightbulb? Do you have any idea about its K rating? 15W would in general not be too bad and I think low light plants should survive. The usual selection comes to mind, Anubias, Crypts, Java Moss, and Java Fern, whereby an Anubias Nana may get too big (over time) for a 5G.
