Hey everybody , Im just getting back into the aquarium hobby after a few years. I currently have a 55 gallon set up with a selection of tropical fish. I also have a terrace system so plant height is an issue. Does anyone have any suggestions on plants for the beginner , and they need to be hardy. Due to being in the military my time is some what limited . Thanks for any help on this topic and I'll post pics soon.

java fern is good for the beginner, doesn't need ferts or a lot of light to grow and is VERY hardy. hornwort is good also. i am sure some of the other members here will have a better list than i do.

There is a stargate in my aquarium.
It depends on how much light (watts per gallon is a rough measure people use) you have on your tank, but I've done well with the plants in my .sig. The Java fern and wisteria especially so. :idea:
Crypts are low maintenance and lighting isn't an issue.Also Bolbitis, onion bulbs. Check out Mgamer's low light plants on AC. He has a wide selection of good plants and I haven't heard anyone complain.
Awesome thanks for the helpful info. Now my next question. What are the recommendations for substrate? I've really been out of the hobby for too long.
