Default Update on my first planted tank

So I've now got Elodea in the back left corner, wisteria right in front of that, Amazon Swords across the back (they are still small but if they grow for me I know they will get much bigger), some sort of hygrophilia (sp?), java ferns on the driftwood and stuck in a crack or two on the urn, then there is anubias nanas, Marimo Moss ball and another plant that the fish store guy wasn't sure what it was but I decided to grab it anyways (if it doesn't grow I'm only out a few bucks). I think I am done with plants for the moment. I want to make sure these are gonna grow for me before I put anything else in there. I did put some root tabs in the gravel and I have some ferts to put in the water.

My husband wanted to cheer me up last week cause I had a nasty nasty cold so he came home with some zebra danios. He'd heard me talking about wanting to get some so he surprised me with them. I wasn't quite ready for the fish but I got em now. They are doing really good and apparently were happy enough with their enviroment that they started spawning after three days in the tank.

Anyways, here is a pic I took earlier. Not the best but it'll do!

Nice looking tank. Once stuff starts to grow in it will really look great.
