I've had great luck with anubias plants. I also have many nice pieces of it for sale in different sizes.

I have jungle Vals, a couple of types of crypts, amazon swords, anubias, java fern and some "where di that come from" hornwort and Bella does mess with any of them unless there is a snail or shrimp sitting on it.
