Most cichlids from lake Malawi (Mbuna) dig up plants and some eat them. Are you willing to put your plants in pots? I wouldn't put malawi cichlids with glass fish either. However there are cichlids from all over the world. Angel, Discus, Aequidens sp., Laetacara sp., Rams, & Apistos, do well in planted tanks with other fish.
