anachris/elodia, hornwart, duckweed, java plants, java moss, ad and sword plants are good for the beginner. you need gravel/ sand mix for them to plant REALLY well. but other than that they are very easy to keep... ;) oh a anachris grows like CRAZY!!!

its easier to spend a lil extra cash and buy an aquatic plant substrate online. hygrophelia, wisteria,vallinis, red tiger lotus, moneywort, and anubias are all great. because you only have a 20, iwould advise against swords due ton their size
