What plants if any can go with chiclids?

Hello,

I was wondering if I can keep plants with chiclids. I have 9 1.5"
convicts in a 10 gallon tank (This is temporary, they were in a bag and
would have died if I hadn't accepted them, it was the best I could do
for now, so yes I know the tank is small). I was wondering what plants
if any I could keep with them, I would load the tank full of plants to
keep any one peticular plant from getting "picked on". If I went to
Petsmart or Petco could I buy those plants? I have some wood decor (not
grapevine ... the stuff thats ultra hard and does not rot in water, if
you know what it is please let me know), and I've hear of people
drilling into it and letting the plants root in it so they don't get
dug up. Any suggestions or advise is appreciated. I am fairly new with
keeping freshwater fish, and had to slam the setup together to keep the
fish alive. So any and all input is welcome.

Thanks
Ed

From my experience, plastic plants are the way to go! LOL. They still dig
them up, but WHO CARES! :)
