Which Plants Would Suit My Tank?

About 6 months ago, I bought a plant pack of ebay which made my tank look really nice, but some of the plants were more like weeds and annoyed me. Plus I didn't start using plant food until some were in a bad state (coming back nicely now though). Problem was that a lot of them are stem plants which end up being uprooted and need re-planting every other day.

I have 5 Amazon swords along half of the back of the tank and a load of vallis that's doubled in area on the wall side of the tank. Other than this I have some Aponogeton of some variety that I've moved to the back (not sure where this would look best). And I have a load of lilly type plants dotted around.

I'd like some advice on where the plants I currently have, excluding the swords and vallis as I like them there, should go, and what other plants would be easy to keep and won't need planting all the time.

I'm thinking of small anubias for the front of the tank. Any help is greatly appreciated
 
Yeah you could attach some anubias and java fern to the hardscape in your tank. Also some foreground plants would be good, crypts, dwarf sag, hairgrass, mosses etc.

If certain species are doing well for you than I'd stick with them and add more.
