We've found the whole "low light" issue to be overrated. I suspect 2 wpg
is still far less than they'd be getting in shaded sun in nature. At any
rate, we throw tons of light over our tanks and they are fine with it.
What they really are afraid of is exposure, not having places to hide.
So plant densely!
