Do Honey Gouramis Eat Plants?

[Iron Man]

I've had 4 honey gouramis for 2 weeks now and now that they've just started coming out to enjoy the tank (in the daylight anyway)....they're pecking at the plant leaves.

This is the the first experience I've had with any type of labyrinth fish and I love em and wanna keep em but they are gone back to the store if they're eating my plants.

Maybe they're just pecking the algae?

What gives Gourami experts?

I've found that mine only goes for certain types of plants, she ignores my onion plants, tiger lotus, java fern and javamoss but all of the times I've tried adding Cryptocorynes and Anubias they got ruined within about three days
