Well, are you looking for ones that will need to be planted in the substrate or ones that attach themselves to rocks and other decor? Or floating plants?

Whatā€™s the difference between the ones you have to attach to decor and rocks and the ones that have to be in the gravel? Which one is easier in your opinion?

stuff that can be attatched to decor
they can absorb nutrients using leaves

Well ones that attach to decor cant be planted in substrate because the rhizome and roots will rot...
 
What

I think narrow leaf Java fern would be a good option, what should I get for it though. Does it need a specific type of substrate? What do you need to keep it?
Do NOT put it in substrate... You're gonna kill it.

All java ferns and java swords are substrate plants. Aqua soil is always the best, but other options would be river sand and possible pea gravel. Fine grained grit works well. With plants the finer the better.
