Pea siz gravel is best, or sand. Big fish like cichlid will tear out the plants. You will need brighter light to support most plants. The plants will produce occaisional dead leaves and stems that you will need to take out and clip off. Plants produce extra oxygen during daylight, but rob oxygen at night.
