You need more structure to keep cichlids in peace. Plants like Java fern and anubias slot in well with that

Unfortunately, GTs and Texas cichlids tear up the substrate too much so it's really hard to get that to happen in a larger cichlid tank

Wood should work.

Vallisneria is also the most cichlid proof plants, they can get to be nicely rooted in and almost impossible for fish to get out

yeah, I am going to attempt to anchor them down one way or another there are just too many health benefits to live plants. not too mention they look a lot better than plastic plants.
