i think the biggest part of keeping plants alive is proper lighting. most lights that come with aquariums can't provide proper light for a lot of plants. they sell t5 lighting now w/ bulbs for not too expensive and this will grow almost all plants haha.

but with these plants they can be kept alive with minimal lighting. I just use a "plant" bulb in my light strip and it does the job. but I'd like to invest in a nice lighting fixture once I get a 30-40 gallon.

one thing to keep in mind is that peace lilly/pothos will actually die if it has too much light. I stuck a peace lilly in a fish bowl of water to acclimate it to aquatic conditions for a friends tank, and stuck it out on my balcony. I noticed that in the morning it would look really nice, but by the end of the day it would be wilted. I ended up sticking it inside where it had less light, and it stopped it's wilting.
