The biggest problem with this tank is immaturity. It may someday be a nice tank but at this point it is a work in progress. I'm not sure what a "hyspanic zebra" or a "red lizard cat" is. The only fish that can be seen in the photos are some guppies which I assume are food for the leaf fish? The Anubias come from Africa and the 'Rubin' sword from South America.

Not so many plants. Anubias originates from Africa.
Use some floating plants for diversity of shelter and green.
