carpet/foreground plants include: dwarf hairgrass, dwarf saggitaria, micro sword...these plants stay relatively small and spread out like a carpet
midground plants: anubias, crypts, java fern...these plants stay kinda small but they dont spread out like the carpet plants, they just grow bigger all around. anubias and java ferns like their rhizomes (root-like structure) exposed so it's best to plant them above ground on driftwood and rocks
background plants: water sprite, peacock fern, amazon sword, pennywort...these plants grow tall and there are just too many to name. water sprite grows wide as well as tall and its a bushy kinda plant while amazon swords have very broad wide leaves. these plants should stay in the background as they can grow over a foot long
generally, the wider the leaves or the darker the leaves, the easier is is to raise. that doesn't mean that you can't grow plants like cabomba though, you just have to experiment. red leaved plants are even harder to grow since the red color they get needs higher lighting so avoid those.
