Java fern is the best option if you want to keep plants with your Silver Dollars. But this doesn't mean it won't get eaten. Only way to find out is just try! Mine silver dollars would nip little peaces from my java fern but not totally eat it.
If anything, they'll just nip at it. You can try anubias if you want a sturdier leafed plant for them, though. You can do it the same way and tie it to driftwood or rocks, it doesn't like to be buried. Either one should work.

My red hooks did the same thing to the java ferns, they slowly nibble at the end of the leaves until it was ugly. They really ate my crypt plant big time taking chunk in every bite. They try my anubias and didn't didn't really like it and left it be.
