Help with aquascapeing

My tank currently after switch from black gravel to sand ....I like the change. Current stock

5 tiger barbs
8 red eye tetras
2 candy cane tetras
2 marbled headstander.
1 clown coach
1 rainbow shark
1 Raphael catfish
1 electric blue acara

I'm not good at designing stuff so am willing to take any advice on where to put stuff and what should I add to make it look more interesting

 

What kind of plants do you want to keep?And have your lighting meet the plants requirement?

 

I had some jungle vals and bacopa that were starting to grow nicely but my marbled headstanders made quick work of them..I have an Amazon sword that is doing well and a watersprite floating that idk if its doing well or not ...I may get 2-3 more swords since no one really messes with them but I'm thinking twords fake plants

Srry my camra really isn't very good

 

need some foreground plants

 

Like what

 

Dwarf sagitaria or marsilea crenata.You could add some moss (foreground or attach to wood and rocks).Personally I won't because they will be a bit messy when growing.Some anubias would be good in the middle.Its all personal choice ,just use your imagination. What do you want your tank looks like? maybe I can help a bit
