I have modified the light hood by putting foil behind the light for more even light exposure. 7 watt incandescent. Right now i have 1 banana plant what is another good plant?

Anubias should work well and stay pretty compact.

Moss attached to a rock or piece of drift wood would be nice. Look here if you would like to see pictures of different plants and what they need to grow.

Aquarium plants - aquatic plants - Java moss

FWIW I have never had much luck with banana plants. they seem to grow for a few months then die off. But that could be just my experience.

You might try a peace lilly with the roots in the tank and the top part above the tank. Even just floating it on a piece of styrofoam.

If you're willing to keep it trimmed and have ferts, most hygros sould be able to work. I've got willow hygro that could get huge if I let it (but I don't), in my 1.5 gallon. A couple of them make a very nice background
