Default plants + goldfish

I have a large goldfish in a planted tank. He completely ignores Amazon
swords, ludwigia, red reinecki, chain sword. The only thing he really went
after was Hornwort. I don't believe he was actually eating the Hornwort. I
think he just enjoyed tearing it apart.

Interesting thing I noticed, and maybe all goldfish are like this I don't
know, But when he was younger he strictly ate flakes from the surface. Now
that he's big he has turned to bottom feeding. Also he is more aggressive by
nature now that he's big.

any suggestions on live plants that goldfish won't eat? i had some
different variety of plants in the tank before and had mixed results with
the plants. i had to re-start my tank, so it's bare now.
