Anubias will grow in almost any situation. It will grow slowly and doesn't need special lighting. You can use it in the background or middle. If used in the background, larger plants will be better, or you can attach them to driftwood. This plant also doesn't need fertilizer or CO2, but either will not hurt it. Java fern and java moss are also great for carpeting, or for attaching to driftwood. Another great background plant is jungle valisneria.

I've got several hygro compact and they do GREAT in my very low light 55gal tank. These make excellent small plants to scatter around the bottom of the tank. They're low-lying, and very leafy. They do get kinda medium tall, eventually. They grow quite slow, and will gather a bit of alge.

I have yet to find any other plants to work in my lowlight tank. I'll watch to find out what everyone else says on that one. lol

Um, as far as other plants are concerned, Java moss would work wonders for a moss-type plant. There's lots of other different kinds of Javas out there, so pick your favorites!

Keep in mind how much light you've got in your tank. THAT is the deciding factor there.

depenging on where you live i could mail you a bag of this stuff i have (don't know the name) but it grows like a weed and forms runners really well. never needed to use CO2 and ferts, will do fine in literally any tank. just cover shipping.

and i agree with the plants 5speed suggests, especially the java moss, but would also like to suggest either broze or green wendtii, really good stuff. will grow anywhere and a mid level plant.
