What kind of plants are safe with silver dollars, severums and a well-fed pleco?
 
maybe java moss or fern? there supposed to have a unpleasant taste which dissuades alot of fish.

to my knowledge silver dollars are plant eating machines, it wouldnt suprise me if they ate the above mentioned too.

Anubias sp might be OK as well.
in my experience it will not
silver dollars are supposed 2 b big plant eaters imo MYTH mine dont even like plant stuff that much but they rip apart silversides
severums on the other hand will destroy every plant in your tank. they will take big chunks out of anubias and slowly put big holes in all of your plants until they wither
maybe java moss iv never tried but leaved plants are a no go
 
Would a lily work if it was protected by netting until it got big? I'm turning my 125g into a riparium and I really want at least some kind of plant in the bottom. I'll try java moss also.
