What kind of lighting is on the tank?

Are you looking for suggestions on additional plants to add, or care for the existing anubias?

iam currently having a led light with blue and red combo, rigth now i only have 2 anubias nana, and planning to keep java moss. but my doubt is whether this will grow in my tank i have 7 small gold fish and need to buy any bottom feeding fish which will not spoil it and also i have got an canister filter which i doubt that will be blicked with java moss

How big is that tank?

Goldfish and plants don't mix well. Goldfish tend to see all plants as snacks. Tough leaved ones like anubias will survive for a while, but even they usually end up being eaten.

Unless you like them, there is not a NEED to have a catfish. They just add to the bioload of the tank, and with that many goldfish, it's already pretty high.

Goldfish and plants do not mix well as Oriongirl stated. But pretty much any light should be able to grow moss and anubias.

Also you have tropical and cool water fish mixed together. What temp is the tank? You may need to choose between the goldfish with no plants (and probably no other fish cause I believe you are gonna be way overstocked eventually, fancies need 20+g per fish and this doesn't look like a 140g tank) or all the other fish with plants.

As far as your original question about the look of the tank... More wood with anubias and moss on it will help fill it in. I would put a bunch of wood or a large piece on the right side.

I might plann to gift my gold fish to one of my friend,, but again my doubt is I am having a external canister filter, if I put moss will this filter be sucking it

Java ferns are also easy, as are many cryptocorynes...but probably not with goldfish.

Easy fix, just put a coarse sponge over the intake strainer. Just rinse the sponge at water changes to prevent clogging.

Duckweed and lots of it. It spreads very fast and the goldfish will love snacking on it. It should do well as long as the surface movement is minimal and the goldfish will keep it's growth in check.

i think i have it in my pond, its too complicated one as this makes to cover the water fully and some times difficult to catch fishes using net, this will be stuck in it
