anubis works great, its low light, easy to attach to driftwood, and has big leaves, they dont need much, i dont have co2 or fertilizer or anything like that just a good light

heres one of my growout tanks

Cichla have little regard for anything that getting in there way, including plants. I recommend something hardy and that grows fast so that they can keep up with the cichla.
