What plants for SDs

[Kingster]

I know it is a risk, and fish are unpredictable, but what plants are most successful with SDs community tank?

Mine totally ignored java moss that was planted in the sand, but shredded everything else. Anubias did pretty well but eventually did get chewed up. Valisneria didn't last 3 days before it was gone. I think they didn't eat the moss because it was a tall tank and they did not really spend any time in the lower level.

Hmm cool, could I get a picture of your fish tank?

This was the tank with the SD's, don't have a full tank shot of it with the plants. These plants were all eventually shredded down, and I replaced them with the java moss, which was left alone. Had three redhook silver dollars and one black bar.
