Vallis is a great one for providing cover at the back as it grows quite tall and propagates very easily.

Cryptocorynes also do well in most tanks.

Those listed above are some of the easiest to grow, but, like fish, it's worth checking out a few care guidelines if you want them to do well.

My suggestions are: Java Fern (Do not plant rhizome) Anubias (Do not plant rhizome) cabomba caroliniana (Plant Roots) Crypts Java moss (attach to rocks, wood, or carpet)
