Default Looking for hardy or bad tasting plants

Hello all,

I'd like to locate two new kinds of plants to put in my 29gal
tank. It has Seachem Onyx sand substrate, DIY CO2 injection, and 72W of
CF lighting. I dose Kent Freshwater Plant Supplement and Seach Flourish
Trace weekly, but am willing to change dosage if it helps.

Some more plants will help this tank immensely, I think. It's
underplanted. Right now it has some java fern, an amazon sword, some
ludwigia, a few really sad looking stalks of bacopa, and a few other
misc things.

Unfortunately this tank is inhabited by some voracious large
Tetras (Buenos Aires, Coumbian, Serpae). They *devour* most plants that
I've put in this tank. They scarf down water sprite so fast, I put
clippings in as food, they eat all the leaves off the bacopa as soon as
they grow, they love munching down wisteria, and they've even eat such
sturdy stuff as java fern (young leaves) and anubias.

The plants in the tank are those that I tried and happened to
survive. I'd ideally like to find two more species that might be hardy
enough to survive these hostile inhabitants. I'm willing to go out of
my way to try things since most of the LFS stocked things have been
tried and eaten...
