firemouths and green terrors will rip plants apart. you could try anubias but they would be uprooted

Floating plants might be an option.

These are the plants I have in SA tanks, with Sev's and firemouths, now if the Sev's dont eat these or rip them up, you might get away with it, although it comes down to the individual cichlids taste or enjoyment of destruction

Java Fern, Java Moss (they like to rip up the moss and spit it around the tank), Vallis, hygrophilia polysperma, cabomba, anubias and hygrophilia difformis. Those are just what Ive found to work, you could give them a go.
