There are a lot of plants that work with cichlids!! I think hat plant will work with cichlids. What kind of cichlid do you have anyway???

Java fern is always good. Java moss also, but i dont really care for it. I would like a top water plant to go with mine, something with long roots but I havent found anything yet.

What kind of cichlids do you have?

Africans and larger SA cichlids wont let plants live. I have a Uaru and Severum they wont let ANY plant live. They even tore up anibus, java ferns, swords, and crypts. Alot of dwarf cichlid are fine with plants though.

Skimmed through your post but I have success with java fern and Anubias.

It depends on the type of cichlid... I have bolivian rams and they don't ever eat any of my plants.
