I would not recommend using live plants in an environment like that. In the wild there are decomposers such as worms, bugs, fungus. A wild habitat does not need to be changed because of those things. Its really hard to change an enclosure with live plants, and a 6x6x3 will need to be changes a lot with 2 frilleds. I used to use pots that I would bury under the substrate to make changing easy, but bugs inevitably populate the enclusure and when you put the plants into the clean enclosure, the bugs cling onto them or stay in the pot and populate the freshly cleaned enclusure really quickly. For a waterfall, you could buy a fountain or one of those waterfalls they sell at the pet store. People generally only have a waterfall and live trees and such when they dedicate a whole room thats usaully out of the house to their frilleds. You could do it if you really wanted to, but im just saying itd be really hard on you, and if you fell behind on the cleaning, itd be hard on the frilleds.
