I'd go with the java fern, moss, and marsilea and maybe throw some floating plants on top to make the beta a little happier. For tall growing plants, you can go with some needle-leaf or narrow-leaf java fern, or just use some driftwood and tie moss to it for height. That will keep your 3 gallon very low maintenance. I wouldnt even dose the tank with any ferts as long as your lighting is reasonably low.

What type of light bulb would you suggest for the desklamp? I'm so glad I did ok on getting low-light plants, and no ferts!! Even better lol!
