There are over 700 species of killies already named and several hundred 
more known. Out of those, there are surely some good plant tank 
inhabitants. Unfortunately, some are territorial and meaner than cat 
dirt. Others are so reclusive you cannot enjoy seeing them. Just pick 
your species with care, and Richard's suggestion is an excellent one.

I am particularly fond of a school of Lampeyes in a planted tank.
