I'm not introducing any fish into this tank until It's grown in to try and avoid this very situation. It's a really nice plant from what I've seen I just wish it would play ball and grow in quicker.
More blyxa on the way, more downoi to follow.
Fish wise once it's grown in I'm thinking white cloud minnows, dunno yet though. I might just do the old cliché neon tetra since they're my favourite fish aesthetics wise.
I'd like to try green neon rasborra but trying to find them is the issue.

It's changed A little bit since then.
I received some Blyxa and some downoi and hc from James and Saintly respectively so thank you to those two.
I replaced the ailing UG with hc, I think my water is just too hard for UG.
As you can see I have a case of the diatoms which I would have cleared up ages ago but I haven't been able to get any Ottos.
Enough words here's the picture.

I tried to improve the photo quality, as you can see I have some diatoms but since adding otto's they have no all disappeared.
Anyone care to critique?

It's growing in nicely and the tetras look great in there. I like the orientation of your driftwood, but the equipment in the left rear corner is a little distracting: maybe a taller stem plant there? I can't take good tank pics either, but the last one looks better because you cropped it. Really lets you focus on the cube instead of the surroundings.

Update, I trimmed all the downoi back and replanted it. I ended up removing over half it had been growing so strong without me noticing!
My stems are now all reaching the surface so are due a trim, I'll post a picture tomorrow when lights are on. Till then thanks for looking.
