Banana plants are very easy, hardy and, survive in lower light level situations. Inexpensive too.

Thanks do I need to put co2 in the water or do the fish produce enough

Java Fern are great plants. No CO2 required.

I have a 36g with 48w, use seachem flourish root tabs, flourish and flourish excel(no CO2). Swords, Java fern, Java moss, anubias, onion plants, and tiger lotus are all thriving. Wisteria also did good but it was thick and collected a lot of waste so I fed it to fish in another tank.

you might need more wattage if you plan to grow anything besides java ferns, banana plant. i have a 72 that i dont use c02 on and it looks good.

This tank is amazing I love the drift wood with the moss on the top so it looks like a tree. This is awesome how long should I keep the lights on
