Ok so being a Tanganyikan Cichlid keeper I don't need plants but here's my view for what it worth.

Obviously, like a garden you cannot expect the eventual effect to be instant so as the plants grow the look will improve.

May I suggest a black or dark background to start with. Then much more dense planting at the back and bring some of the wood forward a bit so it doesn't look as though it's all in a line.
