Are there any plants out there that are pleco. and leporinus proof? Or are just pleco. proof and grow fast enough that the leporinus can't decimate it? I really want to put a few live plants in there, but I'm not sure what would work. Ground cover or tall, doesn't matter. Thanks!

Which species of pleco? Smaller ones have no issues with most any plant IME, but for larger ones that more easily uproot things plants like java ferns, Anubias, mosses, etc. that you can tie to hardscape should work better.

Its a Leopard Sailfin Pleco.
So, moss is ok? I really wanted some moss. Of course, I've never actually seen him uproot a plant, he just likes to suck on their leaves until there's nothing left. What do you think?
