Cichlids mess

[Cichlidtank04]

Hello everyone, wanted some advice for cichlids making a mess of live plants. I have 9 Mbunas and for awhile they loved the plants. They would hide and just nibble at them. I bought more and they just want to shred it apart. Any help please?

It's like a cat figuring something is movable. Those plants dont stand a chance
