Im starting up a tank and i heard java ferns are a good beginner plant because they are hardy. is this true? and if not what plants would you suggest i get? Do plants need anything special, or can i just put them in gravel? Im not very smart in the plant area

Java ferns are great starter plants. Java moss, wisteria, watersprite, anubias, aponogetons are all good starter plants.

Java moss and ferns as well as anubias need no substrate- they do best attached to rocks or wood. They are easy to keep and need nothing special to do well.
