i have java moss, anubia , and penny wort, with my convicts the only thing that stays where i put it is the anuba (witch is tied to a large log) every thing not tied down gets bulldozed.

don't know about the rest.

I have 40 or so convicts including about 30 babies, one large firemouth, a pair of venustus, and many assorted cleaners bristlenose-corys-khulis. they all do fine with my amazon and ruffled swords but I have to place flat river rocks around the base of the plants to keep 'em from digging them up.

IME severums and JDs are not often plant friendly. Several people have good experience keeping sevs with plants if they grow them out from a small size with plants, but I have not seen many JDs kept with plants.

Smaller convicts will pick at thinner type plants, I know my fry tank shredded some crypt leaves up in quick order. I would try to lean towards larger sword types, anubias, or java fern if you want to have a larger chance at success.

Java fern and anubias might be okay, but my jd for sure shredded other plants.

My sevs have always eaten any plants in the tank.
