What live plants are safe for my aquarium fish?

I have a needlefish, a red pacu, a tiger oscar, a leporinus, a plecostamus (sp?), and a number of feeder rosies. What are safe live plants that I can add to my tank without hurting my fish, and that won’t get destroyed by them?

i use this store to help me with ’safe’ plants to buy: http://www.aquariumplants.com/Herbivorous_Fish_Plants_s/24.htm

‘hornwort’ is not on that list, but i do know that my goldfish and plecos do not eat it. and i grows like hell.

**also, if the plant is aquatic, and bought from an aquarium plant dealer, it probably wont hurt your fish.
