I actually think corydoras would be awesome here since i love the natural look of the gravel. So I would leave the front of the tank unplanted but maybe a few sprigs of dwarf sag and maybe use anubias on the wood near the base. I think some taller sag for midground. Background maybe some stems behind the wood but nothing on the sides since the stems won't look attractive from teh front when not hidden. They will get raggy over time and kinda ugly.
L. repens in the background. Bronze wendtii on either side of the wood in the midground. C. parva in the foreground in front of the C. wendtii. Open middle foreground.
I love to go around and tell people not to bury anubias' rhizome. And here I am . Just plant the roots or tie it to a rock. Some anubias petite will look gorgeous on the wood arc you know.
Move the grass from in front of the wood to back left and add some weeping moss and anubias petite to the stump. Also some mini micro sword would look awesome in front
i know you asked for plant species but have you considered a couple of golf ball sized flat river rock casually placed in the open ground area ? just a thought
yep the foreground grass is competing with the driftwood for the eye, i'd also move it back behind or to the side of the wood, or both, and put shorter plants up front, maybe stemmed, that stay shorter than the arch/curve of the wood reaching out to the left.
This stump looks like a fallen tree. Maybe have some moss growing on one side of it Then plant some grassy looking plants near the base on the left with some anubias nana petite at the front.
Anubis, java fern, blyza japonica, glosso.... Something like that.
