High Ph Tolerant Plants

[didz04]

Hi are there certain plants which do better in higher ph. I am looking to fill a few areas in a shell dwelling cichlid setup. Are there certain types of plant specifically from the tanganyikan waters or will any tropical plants be fine? 
 
Thanks

Yes, I could go for artifical but I've always preferred live. Looking at a youtube setup someone has had java ferns in their tang cichlid setup and they seem to be thriving.

Java fern and most of the anubias species would work. Also some of the Val species would work. I've had water sprite do ok in high ph tanks. I did have to acclimate them from a lower ph. I tried just putting them from 7.0 water to 8.2 and the died within a few days. I float the water sprite

I really like the look of the anubias plants. Ive never thought about acclimating a plant from low to high ph, something I will definitely consider. 
 
Thanks for all the suggestions.
