I have a needlefish, a red pacu, a tiger oscar, a leporinus, a plecostamus (sp?), and a number of feeder rosies. What are safe live plants that I can add to my tank without hurting my fish, and that won't get destroyed by them?

i use this store to help me with 'safe' plants to buy: http://www.aquariumplants.com/herbivorou...
'hornwort' is not on that list, but i do know that my goldfish and plecos do not eat it. and i grows like hell.
* if you do end up buying a plant that your fish like to nibble on, you can deter them from eating that plant by adding cabbage, lettuce leaves every now and them. give your plecos cucumber...
**also, if the plant is aquatic, and bought from an aquarium plant dealer, it probably wont hurt your fish.
