You don't say how much light you have available or what size tank you're going to put the plants in. That information will be important in deciding what plants you might be able to use.

However...in general...cichlids are pretty hard on plants and will often rearrange any nice aquascaping to meet their own individual needs. You might consider Java Fern (Microsorium pteropus) as a good starting point. It is pretty tough, easy to grow and according to some people doesn't taste good. You might also be able to get away with various species of Anubias which have thick leaves and can tolerate fairly low light levels.

Just a couple of suggestions to get you started.
