There are thousands of freshwater plants to choose from! Selecting a plant depends on your tank size-hight, what fish you have in it, your lighting, filtration, C02 or none, substrate, use of fertilizers or not and many more variables. Live plants can be a complicated hobby if you'd wish for your plants to thrive.
The best thing to do is research research research!
Or...throw in anacharis! (plant found almost everywhere and seems to thrive in anything)

On the down side, you'll have to clean them out when they die and replace them every now and again
