It looks like your off to a great start. I noticed that you were thinking about some vals. I have found out two things about vals. 1. I think they look good and 2. I think they look good in other people's tanks, not mine. The problem is that vals grow like mad and shoot runners out everywhere. In one week mine will send runners out several feet and I have to carefully remove them from around all the other plants. I'm currently growing out some crypt balansae that I plan to replace all the vals with in order to keep the long grass look, but with out the upkeep. But those probable won't work real well in a breeder tank either, due to the height constraints.
good luck!
