Bichirs rope fish. Black ghost knives. Nothing that even looks at plants. Plus I have a 10 gallon tank to raise plants with no fish
Then go for hornwort, pretty much they're basic and hardy as java ferns, but me mindful because you do need to trim it because of the rich nutrients that it will take the ferts you're adding in. And yep, those fish won't even look on plants but will do bump em time to time so you need a secure base for those plants, I had mine with my senegals with a clay pot that holds my amazon sword plants. Hope for the best! 
Cool thanks I put them in the back of the tank against the glass the whole length to add some nice contrast the substrate in the back is up 4 inches deep so they are weighted down
BTW, as I read your reply, would that be a bichir then a ropefish or a sole ropefish? plants isn't really safe when bichirs are around, they do like to go to the top of the plant and plank at it, when being startled the swift movements of those fish cuts leaves or uproots plants.
I have a delhezi senegal and a rope and they perfer to perch on top of my huge drift wood peice and they like to hang out under the plants
Hornwort will take over that tank. You have aquatic plants and aquatic weeds. Hornwort is an aquatic weed.
Edit: I bought Hydrotriche hottoniiflora so same question for this plant. What is this plants growth rate? Any tricks to make it spread like wild fire
