What other types of plants would go?

My 25g(well lit) planted has some java fern 2 types of anubias, a crypt and java moss natural growing on the drift wood. This tank is being geared towards the otos needs. I may put a pair of Keyhole cichlids in there when my 2 of my 3 Keyholes decide to pair up.
I do want some of the grass like plant for part of the tank. And some back drop types. But what? Any suggestions will help. Plantgeek.net as all kinds...too much. lol

I've been reading about Hemianthus Callinthrodes (sp?). It's the Cuban version of Baby's Tears, and is a beautiful groundcover (to use instead of, say micro sword or dwarf hairgrass). It's kind of difficult to get ahold of, and doesn't survive long transit very well, but is super fast growing. I plan on, once I have it growing in my aquarium, selling pieces in an attempt to make it more common in America. Up until recently, it wasn't available, as it's a Cuban plant.
This plant seems like it might do well in your aquarium, as far as lighting goes.

dwarf hairgrass looks great, and spreads pretty quick for the "carpet" effect. i just bought some last week!
