Plants

I'm thinking about adding plants to my cycling tank. I was wondering if anyone knew any plants good for newbies and what special care is needed for these plants. Also any floating plants would be great cause i've read that gouramis need them.
~Thanks Owen~

here are some easy to grow plants that dont need much light:
java fern
java moss
hornwort
guppy grass
aquatic clover

plants can produce algae so i suggest getting a few otocinclus catfish to keep your tank clean, also you could go to www.plantgeek.net which has some cool info on plants

hope this helps

Water sprite and hornwart make good floating plants. Water lettuce looks really nice as well
