Houseplants with aggressive, thick roots?

I have a tank dedicated to my Giant Colombian Ramshorn snails (and shrimp), and while I love them they will leave nothing plant-related alive.

What emersed plants grow the most aggressive roots? The snails inevitably find their way to the roots and eat them, so they need to grow back quickly. They are in net cups in the center of the lid, but somehow that’s not enough. The snails eat any floating plants before they acclimate / spread.

Pothos roots look great, but grow slowly. Wandering dude roots grow somewhat quickly, but they’re flimsy. I want the most annoyingly invasive root growth possible. How the out-of-water part of the plant looks isn’t as important

Bonus if it’s safe for cats
