Help with my 55 gallon

I know this isn't a monster tank but I can't get a huge tank till I finish college. Anyways I have just set up my 55 gallon tank that will house:
Cardinal tetras
Herquline rosabora
German blue rams
Kuhli loaches
Some kind of cory cats

The tank has some anubia nana on driftwood and I will be getting some type of floating plant don't know which yet (help if you can).

Now I have it setup in my bedroom and I am somewhat lost on plant ideas for the tank. Here is a pic of the tank.



I would like to add something behind the coconut hideout and then behind the driftwood (was thinking jungle vals but idk)?

I have two T8 light fixtures that came with the tank. Not the best I know will upgrade in a few weeks to LED lights. But regardless I will be low/low-medium light at the best.

Various anubias, java fern (I especially like the windelov version), bolbitis heudelotti are good to attach to the driftwood. Some floating plants could be dwarf water lettuce, amazon frogbit, watersprite, hornwort.
You can also plant the watersprite. Anacharis, vallisneria, certain aponogetons (my favorite is ulvaceus), dwarf sag, banana plants, amazon swords, cryptocorynes are also hardy and don't need much light. There is more I'm forgetting I'm sure.

Have a look at bamaplants.com as he does put in the description most of the time the requirements of the plants and their eventual sizes and such. He also has wonderful pricing.

Since rams like warmer water I would get sterbai cories. They are pricier but so lovely Tank looks great so far!
