Left one for sure is not aquatisc, it will rot in a few weeks. As for suggested plants, we really need to know how many watts of light is produced from your hood divided by your tank size. This gives you a watt per gallon. (WPG) The minimum wpg is about .75-1 wpg for low light plants like Anubias, Java moss, Java ferns, Crypts, Hornwort, and Anacharis. 1.5-2 wpg is good for Brazilian Pennywort, Moneywort, Ludwigia, Dwarf Sag, Frogbit, and Vals.
