Go to plantgeeks.com and look at their plant guide. It all depends on your lighting, substrate, and if you add any ferts and or Co2

I think Crypt. balansae gets way too long for such a small tank. If you have higher lighting and a good substrate, you can also try dwarf 4-leaf cloves (Marselia crenata), and the sword below

The little sword (at least that's what I think mine is) grows like mad in my 10 gallon tank with 24W lighting.
