What kind of plants grow the best? I should say which are the easiest to care for? Everytime I have put plants in my tanks the cichlids seem to root them up.

Java moss and Java fern are about the only two I have ever heard that work with cichlids. They will actually root themselves to the fixtures and whatever.

Yeh cichlids usually wont leave plants alone. Solars right Java ferns and moss are about it.

Kinda what I figured. I just have this extra 20 long that would look great as a planted tank with some blue red rams in it.
