I have always liked java fern. I decided to put a 100 gal. in a breakffast nook and found out that the java fern hates the sun.
First off, i am a plant noob so don't take me too seriously, just want to give my 2 cents.
From what i understand plants with more color etc. require more energy to photosynthesis, or whatever it's called in english.
So basically if you have alot of light to support a high energy plant, i think it will also be absorbing more nutrients from the water, such as nitrates.
That's just my 2 cents though, but hopefully an expert can chime in
