How large is your tank, and what's your light situation like?

Regular baby tears would be a good mid/foreground plant depending on how you trim it

Might even be cool to have a red tiger lotus in the middle as sort of, the focal point of the tank, it'd be good for a nice color contrast too

If you have any rocks or driftwood, I suggest moss, anubias, and java fern. If your local fish store sells plants, try looking for some easy crypts or swords to plant.
