Dwarf Sagittaria is another option. It carpets well and grows fast under moderate light. Doesn't need CO2, but it'll spread quicker if you have it.

Your fish are thriving - those fins, the colors, the muscle tone, it's all top-notch. The tank setup is really impressive too, I remember seeing your tank post in part 1 and it's clear you're doing something right.
