I am not sure if I want any but any suggestions? I guess Java Fern as per usual as nothing seems to kill this stuff.
Anubias is always a good choice. Straight and/or Jungle Val will probably live too.
Depends on the fish :)
Java Fern is the only thing I currently use, cause it's indestructible. The fish uproot it, it floats and gets stuck somewhere, and keeps on growing.
You can use Java Moss but it gets all over the place.
Twisted Val actually grows in Lake Tanganyika, so it works well.
anubias, java fern, narrow leaf java fern, african fern, any kind of val, onion plants, some swords if big enough. if you have good light (which mine seems to not have) you can do lots with different anubias' and textured ferns/val.

I used the twisted vallis that DD mentioned. It did alright but never got very tall and spread like crazy. It ended up looking more like chain sword because my Pseudo's kept it pruned around 6". All the daughter plants helped stabilize my sand actually.
