tank planting

[lipo]

hi everyone
im new on this site and thought id best join as im looking at restarting looking after puffers, l was woundering if there was any plants that would work well with a brakish tank as when l had my last tank l only had gravel and a fan plant, not to sure what it is really called but looked like a fan made out of twigs but it was nice, however, l would really like to make my tank as friendly to the fish as l can to help it have a lovely little life, an sugestions would be helpful, another reason why l am looking at live plants is so l can try and get snails to breed and hide, l was thinking of some low ground plants but also some grassy ones.
many thanks
lipo

I'm gonna make a sticky for this in the BW puffer forum but there is an excellent thread stickied in the BW Tanks forum.
