I have a 5-6inch jag, a 5-6inch red devil and a large ornate bichir. I have a coulpe pieces of bamboo but was wondering if any other plants are hardy enough to not get ripped up or torn out?
 
You could try to tie down some Anubias to wood and see if that works. Onion plant once rooted is really hard to dig up It also tough.

The problem is letting the plants root well. Try to plant your plants in clay pots. That will help keep them from being dug up.
 
Hornwort is a great plant that doesn't have roots, and is very hardy. It can float or be held down by rocks. It doesn't need a lot of light, is a good oxigenizer, and removes waste.
 
sorry to go off of your topic but.........

I have 2 Jack Dempseys, and a blood parrot fish in a 40 gallon tank. I also have a variety of african cichlids in a 55 gal tank. is there anyway i can get rid of the 40 gallon and bring the dempseys and parrot in with the africans?
 
i say do not use hornwort. If they tear the piece off, it goes everywhere and its a pain to clean. Goes in filters, clogs things up. I wont ever do that again.
 
My RDs wouldn't allow any plants. My jag leaves plants alone as long as they aren't in his way ( ie not in near his territory or not in an area he frequents)

I would put your JDs and Parrot into the 55, and move your Africans into the 40. I would not put them together, I don't know how big you fish are but eventually you SAs will eat your Africans.

Also a 55 is still not big enough for your JDs and Parrot, you will need to get at least a 75 to house all 3 fish. If your Jacks are a pair they will do ok in a 55 by themselves.
