I am looking for some good beginner (names) of plants,ferns or moss that would be good to start with. Then I can start looking for them Thanks.

Ferns: Rabbits Foot, ET, Lemon Button, Deers Foot, Java (several types), Selaginellas
Moss: Java moss or Riccia are good for starters, Joshs has some nice mosses as well
Others: Philodendrons, Pileas, Peperomias, Callisia, Neoregelia Bromeliads, Cryptanthus, Pellionias, Dischidias, etc

If you look on several sponsor sites, they offer plant packs for certain size tanks that is a great way to get started.

NE Herp sent me a GREAT beginner plant package. I have several of the plants growing in grow out still, and have used them in multiple tanks.

 

[SNAKEMANVET]

I will check them out. Thanks

Thanks yours,my wife has some pothos,I need to get a couple of clippings from it when I get my misting system setup.

pothos dosent need a misting system. Just throw a cutting in the tank. I have pothos that gets watered maybe once a month, gets almost no light and its flourishing.
