Flora/fauna advice

Setting up a Paludarium for the first time(exo terra 36x18x36), this is what I’ve got so far. The plants in the picture are just set in it for the photo, currently living in my little “greenhouse” and won’t necessarily all make it in the final build. Looking for suggestions on plants and critters, hoping to keep it as a mostly South American type biotope if possible! Also any suggestions for long term upkeep/beginner tips welcome!
