So I'm pretty new to the live plants of a fish tank but I'm absolutely in love with the idea and would love to make my tank flourish with tons of plants. I'm just about to dirt my 29 gallon but I want to make sure I have everything. I've got my heater, filter, new lights ( not sure if theyre great theyre sunflora T5's ) clay with organic potting soil and of course fish and few plants. I was hoping I could get help on some ideas of decently cheaper plants that I could start out in but would still look good and make my tank truly look like a natural abundant habitat for the fish! I was also hoping to have a solid piece of drift wood in the middle and hang like java moss on it, if any ideas with all this please post! It will greatly be appreciated!

In my picture the background has lots of plants put on it but I only have some Green myrios in the back ( theyre kinda dead ): ) a cabomba in the front left and some nice Micro Sword on both sides of the rock. And this is not yet dirted!
