Other plants worth considering are crypts - C. balansae and C.
retrospiralis in particular. They grow quite long, have narrow
leaves, don't multiply too quickly, and require only moderate
lighting.
As far as fish are concerned - how about a few killifish - Aphyosemion
gardneri are colorful and not too "ordinary".
