Will they eat my plants?

In my 55 gallon tank I have:
10 Harlequin Rasboras
4 Emperor Tetras
2 Sterbai Corydoras Catfish
2 Juli Corydoras Catfish
1 Ghost Shrimp

I plan on adding:
1 Red-tailed shark
1 Gourami
2 more Harlequin Rasboras

Will any of these eat aquatic plants? I've had good luck so far with the plants and fish that are in there now. I just don't want any surprises.

No, they should be fine. I don't think any of those fish really eat plants.

Well, not all of your fishes in the tank will eat plants. My friend just recently brought in some Harlequin Rasboras, and Emperor tetras into my 1,000 gallon. They love eating my plants including my small little silver dollars. 10 of little ones.

They are all vegetarians. All of my fishes are.

Although, not all of my fishes will want to keep on chewing on plants.. they tend to get bored of it after a while, but they still do it when they don't have anything else to munch on.

Since I am still in Japan, my friends do all the shopping I have about 120 fishes in my tank recently
