Plants For Malawi Cichlids

[Becks1985]

Was wondering is der any plants tat would survive in my malawi aquarium I want to stick them to a piece of wood I have in the aquarium.. I would like them to grow tall can anyone help thanks...

anubias can be possible, Anubias is supposed to taste bad to fish. Java fern could also work but I cant guarantee because cichlids are plant destroyers

When I had my Malawi tank, even Anubias was destroyed over time. They didn't even have to eat it, they just plucked it to pieces and spat it out! IMO it will have to be artificial plants if you want some green.

I have seen flowerhorns die of constipation in my country, people buy too many plastic plants. They dont go the natural way
