"Can grow in dim light" is not the same as "prefers dim light".
As far as I know there are no aquatic plants that prefer dim light.


I was under the impression that most aquatic plants are shade lovers. Except
when it comes to certain stem plants.

==============================
Since most lakes, ponds and streams are out in the open I would think they'd
be sun or partial-sun lovers.

Nah. Here's some pics of biotopes of Cryptocoryne, a plant everybody
knows is a "dim light" plant:

"Much more C. affinis is found in the riverbed where they grow fully exposed to the sun"
