they leave plants alone, overall they are quite handy to a planted tank. They aerate the substrate, eat algae and dead plant matter. Once you have them though, you've got them for good because they breed easily.

If not careful they will take over. When they breed, they really breed.

cool, yeah, I was thinking it would be good to have something aerating the sandy bottom
If Charles still has some I will pick some up from him.

yeah, just a warning.. once they are in your tank they are there for good...
a loach or two will keep them under control (kinda) but will never get rid of them all.
I have them in one of my tanks and honstly don't like them that much. They look ugly on the glass.
