Default advise on plants... what would you buy

So after i get paid tomorrow i want to stop buy the store and pick up some plants for the tank. Since i got the 20 gallon the tank looks bare again. So im just wondering what you guys would buy. I have one anubius dead center of the tank, a dwarf lily to the left of the anubius and apongetons scattered around. So the places i dont have anything is in the back between the aponogetons, or behind the aponogeton on the left. Also nothing really up front or to the right near the back near the heater.
So if you could put plants in my tank as if it were yours... what would you buy and where would u place them.
Cant wait to hear what you guys recommend.... feels like it will be Christmas just waiting..

Wisteria is a great plant; it's easy to find, easy to grow, and fish love it!

BTW, your tank looks nice! :D

Sunset hygro looks nice and for foreground staurogyne repens. (although not sure if they are good/bad choices for your tank.)

Looking at your tank, I see the co2 difuser, what are the bubbles on the right side of the tank? (air)

I like aponogetons and yours look well. I would add Cryptocoryne wendtii and Cryptocoryne lutea, Jawa fern and Jawa moss. I like Hygrophila polysperma, it is growing fast, and can be trimmed again and again, if needed, I plant it im my every tank.

I like your arrangement. Dark gravel is wonderful. If I started all over again, I would like the darkest gravel in the tank. I bought everything used and the gravel is 100% natural, but it is very light multicolored. I had wisteria in the past. It grew well, but now my tanks are too small.
