It all depends on how much time and money you want to spend. If it is your first time with a planted tank i would go with anubias, java fern, swords, and anacharis. they will do fine with normal lighting, no co2, and no ferts. if you want cherry shrimp you need to keep your fish very small and docile. cherr shrimp and tiny and can be lunch for a lot of fish. cory cats, neon tetras, and guppies would be good.
