Hi - the answer is almost certain yes.

But in order to advise which plants you'll need to let us know size of tank - what fish you have in the tank - what lights you have in the tank and what substrate you have (probably more things but I'm only half awake now!)

Ok!! I have a 20 gal long tank. I have 2 platys, 2 mollys, 1 dwarf gorami, 3 kuhli loaches, and soon some neon tetras. I have a regular fluresent hood, and gravel

Bang away.
Anubius are easy, anacharis, hornwort, camboma, java fern are all easy.
Swords and crypts are easy as well after the initial melt.
Bacopa is also easy.
And your fish will love it.

Bacopa I've found doesn't melt, mine never did. Neither did my Crypts 

Elodea Densa is a good one too.

Java fern and anubias have to have their roots free, so they need to be tied to something (rocks, wood, etc.) but are super easy and two of my favs

 GL! 
 
...... maybe a pic once they're in the tank?
