Java ferns work well and are easy to care for. Come in a number of varieties. I have three types in my tank. The "standard" java fern, narrow leaf, and trifolia. Just make sure you attach them to something like rocks or driftwood. If you bury the roots in the substrate, they will slowly, or in some cases, not so slowly, die.

I'm not sure if you can find Native Asian plants around your area but, water lily (find the dwarf species). pennywort, duck weed for top surface, java fern, Anacharis, hornwort...
