The same way you plant any other aquarium. The plants you chose will depend on your lighting. I'm guessing the light will be incandescent. A small piece of driftwood would be cool. Sand or flourite bottom will work fine. Small plants like ricca (if lighting is strong enough), dwarf hairgrass, dwarf sag, mosses, will work fine. Stay away from plants that grow large (swords, cabomba, anacharis, watersprite ect... as they will quickly outgrow the tank. You could make it a shrimp only tank or maybe a few small fish like white clouds.
