Great plants for small tanks?

[aqua.land]

Hi,
I don't have a tank yet but most likely will be getting a small/medium aquarium, most likely not much more than 10/12 gallons. (Most Likely freshwater).
I'm probably going to have some small fish (eg. bettas, gouramis, otocinclus) or just red cherry shrimp/triops.
I don't really want plastic decorations as I'm looking for more of a natural 'green' look.

I'm looking for all plant types, foreground, background, midground, just to make sure they do not grow/spread fast and take up a lot of space.
I quite like the idea of Cryptocorynes, Java Moss, and Pygmy Chain Sword.

Does anyone know any other plants/suggestions?
Thank you.

Anubias Nana & Bucephalandra is a great addition for nano tank, slow growing plant, easy to take care & maintain, but kinda Pricey
I also like Banana Plant & Moss for Shrimp

Anubias, java fern, java moss, moss ball, anacharis, it depends on what you like or what do you want.

Thank you.
I'm looking to create a kind of natural Amazon-y kind of look, (lots of greenery).

Try some salvinia (floating plant)

Anahcaris, Anubias, moss balls, Java Moss, Java Fern, Salvinia, etc.

The best pants I have found for bettas and cherry shrimp are Anancharis (Both love it), Java Moss (The shrimp love resting on it), and Salvinia. (Both light resting near it)

Some good suggestions here. For small tanks, I really like crypt wendtii, dwarf sag, and christmas moss.
