puffers and live plants

From what I gather all puffers have a tendency to nip and forage through plants because that's what they'd do in the wild to hunt out snails for food :p
That said, I'm going to plant up my puffer tank because I've heard lots of people say that whilst they do get the occasional hole in a leaf, it's not THAT bad.
 
I have four dwarf puffers and a dragon puffer, all with live plants. Never had problems with plant destruction.
IMO, the plants are a must to break up the line of sight and stop the dwarfs getting overly territorial.
