is there something i can add to my tank to keep these plants alive that wont harm or effect the fish what so ever... im not looking for anything extravagant. i have 2 anubis and a sword plant?, i attached the anubis to driftwood

Considering they're both medium/low light plants. You don't really need to add much else. But if you really feel like adding more, just toss in a Co2 diffuser and higher light output if your's isn't high enough already
 
Judging from the pic, I would say that sword isn't gonna last long. I would get the sword out of the shadows & into the direct path of light. They call swords low/medium light plants, but you wont get any growth if they dont get enough light. The anubias are right under the lights & they prefer the shadier spots. Also, be careful with liquid aquarium fertilizers like you find at the LFS. They will guarantee an algae problem if you're not careful...
 
i put another light on it today, got 2 on there now, thanks for the responses guys, hopefully all goes well, i normally dont keep real plants in my tanks, but lately im realy into the natural look
 
Silk plants are usually very real looking, although apparently some plecos love the silk stuff better than the real.
