It all depends on what plants you get, I got low light hardy plants and they are growing great with liquid nutrients and light, will be getting plant tablets though

Vallis grows pretty well anywhere including Lake Malawi and looks good IMO.
CO2 is for specialists. Just be aware that eartheaters will tend to excavate the roots a bit, so you will be backfilling from time to time.

I am going for a natural 'stream' look with large driftwood pieces.
Do I need Co2, special lighting or any additives for java moss? I am thinking to put some around the driftwood.

Java moss doesn't need anything special to grow, but i guess additives can't hurt I use seachem flourish, works well.

I would go a pair of tapajos,
With around 20-30 tetra of your choice for the top range.
Then maybe 5-10 corydoras, with a couple of whip tails.
Some stringy driftwood and indian almond leaves.

I would stick to one type of tetra, will look better when they all school together.
Scrap the bristle nose, just adds to the bio load.
Here is what im trying to get at.
Obviously yours will be a much smaller scale.
You will have your pair of geos for the bottom to mid level. Then your school of tetra for the top.
You don't really need cory's, I just like them with geos.
Some stringy drift wood so its not so boring. But not heaps so they still have room to swim.
