I'd say it's either pure dumb luck, or carefull planning. Never hurts to try if your willing to fail. :)

Like in my 75 gallon, my cichlids in there have just about torn though any plant that's went in with them except Java Fern. So in this tank it was a little trail and error and dumb luck.

I agree.
Also, one thing you could do is keep part of each plant in another tank or container and let them grow. That way you won't have complete losses on your hands if the convicts do happen to wreck all the plants in their tank.
