you could try some drif wood with anubias atached. Or posibly some of the more robust sword plants

most stem plants will go the same way, you are better of with rossette or rhizome plants.

I found elodea densa to be delicate. I use a fake piece of wood with Java fern on it to hide my sponge filter.

Standard onion plants seem to thrive with the water movement...

or try densely planted crypt crispatula.

will take time to grow tall but will reach up and roots well
