What plants are best for my freshwater aquarium?

The best plants to use for a starter tank, or if you're new to the hobby are, in my opinion, Anubis or cryptocoryne. The reason I recommend them is because they can deal with a lot of different light intensities, so you don't have to go out of your way to get extra light for them. Typically, they don't require an external CO2 system, they're not temperamental, and they're usually a very hearty plant. They look cool, they're very natural, and they're typically easy to keep, and that's why I recommend them very highly.
