I would recommend either Clover or Elatine triandra for the foreground. Possibly some crypts for the mid and background.

ok thx i was thinking of getting ground cover soon maybe even glosso and do you think i should take out the driftwood and ut the anubias on rock.maybe a cave design. as for the crypts i was thinking of c.pygmy.

I suggested lower light carpet plants because of your lighting. It'll be borderline as to whether or more demanding carpets will grow up. With a 10 gallon tank, you've probably got closer to high light than if you had the very high light you would have with the same ratio of light over a larger tank.

I actually like the driftwood with the anubias and would keep them. The cave design might be nice too though.

C pygmy would be quite nice as would C. x willisii, C. x willisii 'lucens', or some of the C. wendtii varieties.
