Default Plant opinions

I have had my 55g set up for about a year now, and I am having a terrible time with the plants. The problem is my fish keep shredding my plants. Since I have set up the tank I have had the following plants:

Bacopa
Cabomba (green)
Hornwort
Parrot's Feather (this was my favorite)
Jungle Val
Anacharis
Lloydiella
Amazon Sword (one they have not bothered this)

Any plant I put in with thin leaves, they shred. I end up with stems with no leaves, or floating plants I guess I need to buy larger, broad leaf plants. Any suggestions? My tank is so plain...I need help....

I have some decorations, but no where near enough. I am also planning to upgrade my lights as soon as I get the funds and maybe add CO2 later, right now, I just want to get something started AGAIN
