This is my tank as of yesterday and ill upload a new pic later of it as it is now.
But im just wanting poeples advice/comments, cos i want to eventually breed guppies (cos they are gorgeous and i love them) and possibly dalmatian mollys (dont know yet tho:) ) so obviously i want enough cover for the fry and i want it to be as natural as possible.

Tank as of this morning

What type of plants? I see moss balls, obviously. Are the others Java Fern? Looks natural except for the multicolored gravel.
 
How many gallons is the tank? Are you planning to fill the tank up more? It'll add another gallon or two.
 
What do people think?
This is as it is now

64L i think, yes i am going to fill it up more when i do next water change which will be in the next week or so

Yes
moss balls X 4
Java moss on right at front
Java fern on front left with anubias nana golden

the others ive no idea lol lfs said they are fairly slow growing and hardy and i like the look of them

And i might be swapping the gravel at some point, im ignoring the gravel atm and ill get some play sand when i see some next. I have a smaller tank that should be ok while the sand settles or will the fish be ok in "cloudy" water while sand settles?

Anyone have any idea what the long leafy plant is at the back?
My fish seem to love it, ive seen loads swimming in/through it
