With Silver dollars, you can forget about plants. I learned this the hard way and at high plant expenses. They will even eat anubias (more like take bites out of them, then spit them out). Forget about any kind of swords. You can keep anacharis and hornwort because they grow so fast, but the anacharis will eventually look terrible. Mosses will be ok, possibly java fern and anubias, yet you'll have to prune them after damages are sustained. Onion plants may also fair OK. You may read that herbivorous fish don't eat melon swords, but dollars will gobble them up relatively quickly.
