The plants are very useful.
They provide coverage, which helps.
They suck nitrates from your tank
They compete with algae.
Make sure you get plants in low light only. Easy plants for beginners include: Elodea, nix / glycine, Java moss, Java ferns, banana, Riccia, and hornwort.
Only java fern needs to be planted.
Beware especially of any plant that looks like it should be in a saucepan. Chances are it is probably a plant emergence and die quickly.
Most plants SERA well as provided a reputable dealer. IF YOU WANT TO RACE buy low bushy plants THAT THE TERM through the bottom
