I have kept Boesemanis for some time now and i keep them with plants they have been fine. Never had an issue with them. I had them in my 3ft when i had it specifically as a planted tank, i had a lawn of HC cuba and Eleocharis Parvula with Java fern + Anubias on wood. Flowing vallis at the rear and Echinodorus Rubin in the centre. Never had any issues with plants being eaten or uprooted, only algae on leaves
