I need some suggestions for plants. This fall I'm setting up a 55 gallon community tank. I intend on using a sand or fine gravel/crushed rock in the tank, which will hold one pleco, 6 Pearl Gourami, 3-4 Pictus Cat, and one Cichlid (either a peaceful Severum or Firemouth).

Fake plants will be used to some degree, but I really want some live ones. Javas mounted on wood will be fine if they get moved around right? What potted plants are recommended? I have some experience with aquarium plants, but not extensively, also I would be willing to add C02.

I would prefer some plants not likely to be eaten, I will put some floating Anacharis in the tank for them to eat.
