definitely a nice piece of driftwood/mopani/bogwood. Maybe positioned towards one end and those rocks moved towards the opposite end in a corner with some java moss on them.

Some other real plants if you wish and have enough light, etc. Or some fake plants if not. Fake plants could also be used to get things looking nice quickly and then gradually replaced with real ones over time.

I may be wrong by just looking at a picture but the gravel doesn't seem to be very deep. You may wish to add some depth if you have a problem anchoring plants.

A teracotta flower pot or two will give some caves and are dirt cheap. I don't know anything about rams but my zebra danios often swim in and out of my caves, although never stay in there for a lenght of time.

You could use a piece of cardboard as a background. I was doing this until recently when I covered it in black card. Both look good.

You've got an almost blank canvass there, so you'r at a fun stage
