Pick any plant that is sold for use with fish. Also possible are water hyacinth, some minature tropical water lilies, such as nelumbo, papyrus and related reeds, etc etc etc etc. The posibilities are endless if you hunt around.
If you mean an aquarium without water - a bottle garden - pick any small-growing house-plant that comes from a humid climate. If this is what you mean, the tank will need to be placed in good light but out of direct sunlight so that you get good growth without cooking the plants.
Another opinionI do not know of any "House Plant" that can live permanently in water. There are some plants sold in the more unscrupulous pet shops that are pretty, colourfull and reasonably cheap, however some of these are bog and marsh plants and not truly aquatic and they die off after a few weeks fully submerged, leaving the aquarist disappointed and the aquarium full of dead and dying plants. My advice is "Plants have evolved over millions of years to live under specific conditions. House plants are simply plants that have evolved in darker places (Usually the Rainforest Understorey) and so will survive under poor light conditions but not under water. Aquatic plants have evolved to live in water, some need bright light and some need dim light but none will survive if kept out of water for long. If you want success you will research your plants species and provide it/them with the conditions you know they like".
