Abhi da, your plants are looking to be in very good health.
Some suggestions on my part.
love the texture of the rocks you have used in the right side. However, like Mudassar says, they will get covered with E.Parvula. I would suggest you try to group them together to make a single focal point, rather than scattering them around.
Best of luck! please keep us updated! |

| Try Marsilea for foreground, and fill up your mid ground and background further to prevent algae attack! |

Hair grass will be dense within a few month if proper light, co2 and fertilizer will be supplied. |

like your setup 
that hairgrass looks like the taller variety to me...it can grow quite tall indeed and frequent trimming is required.. |
