Small tank, any live plants good?

[Fishielove]

Okay, so I have a little freshwater five gallon setup, and it has just gravel on the bottom, and LED lights. Are there any live plants that would do well? It has a small cave and a couple of plastic plants. I was thinking Java moss. would that be able to grow in my tank? Any suggestions are appreciated. Oh, and I'm going to get a small cory catfish. Thanks! *DRUMMER*

Java moss would work just fine - anubias nana would look lovely in a smaller tank too.

If I were you, I would either not get a live plant OR take out the fake plants. Live and Fakes don't look good together. Personally, I would get the live plants because they are beneficial to the tank.

A lot of people mix live and artificial plants, you just have to shop around and get the best looking ones you can for the money - I have some plastic ones that look very good, but some like the silk.

Yes you can. My mom has had a yellow clown goby in her 2.5 for over a year now. You need to pick something that stays small and dosent really swim around much.
