what are the best plants in a 90 gallon with tiger barbs?

i have a 90 gallon, 16 tiger barbs and a pleco. i have some plants in it now, but it seems that the plants either keep coming up or the tigers and pulling them up/nipping them off. any suggestions on what other plants i can use, or secure mine? want to stay live as i really love the natural look.tnak has a 4' bulb meant for plants and the substrate stuff meant for plants too. heres a link to a vid showing the typew of plants..forgot the name...sorry. thanks!!!

    Your best bet is tough leaved plants like amazon swords, java fern, and annubius. Annubius is good because it will attach to rock over time (you can tie the roots down at first) and other plants just need to be firmly buried deep into the substrate.

    Try some Java Moss and Bannana plants!
