Plant suggestions for my aquarium?

Trying to kick the ol' plastic plants and get some live ones in there. Right now I have aponogeton crispus, aponogeton ulvaceus, anubias minimus, and anubias barteri. I want something that'll create a carpet effect. Not java moss, because that was a disaster.

    Marsilea minuta or Marsilea quadrifolia would probably be the easiest carpet plants to grow. They can grow even under low light, and are very hardy. But Marsilea is also a very slow grower.

    Sagittaria subulata is another one that is fairly easy to grow, although it will still need medium lighting and a nutrient rich substrate like eco-complete to grow. This is a faster grower, and is also easier to find.
