good plants for a 10 gal

I am setting up a 10 gallon tank that will ultimately be the home of a pair of a. borelli, and a small group of tetras. I am curious as to what some good plants would be for this small of a tank. Keep in mind the small dimensions of the tank. (I don't want anything that will grow too tall.) Any suggestions would be very much appreciated!

There is about 1.5 W/gallon lighting on the tank, and there is and will be no CO2 added. Otherwise, I am willing to supplement if necesarry, but would prefer heartier plants that are easy to care for. Again, thanks in advance for any comments!

anubias (there are lots of different kinds with different shapes), crypts, micro tennellus, java moss, java fern.

I'd stay away from any type of sword and most stem plants are too much trouble - either they want more light and CO2 then most 10 gal setups have or they are so happy you have to cut them back every other day!
