Default Need to redo planted tank

I will have to redo my 58G tank due to dying of my plants and others covered
with algae.
What plants do you suggest for a 58G tank(froreground, midle ground,
background) and what quantities?
Will like to have some red, green plants. Tank will have driftwood and some
rocks. Theme is south american with angels and bolivian rams.

Thanks

What kind of lighting do you have for your tank?

Java fern, Cryptocornes, Anubias. For controlling your algae I would
suggest you add some Siamese Algae Eaters to the tank (even though
they're not South American). I added three of these to my tank a
couple months ago and now everything's under control.
