Yup thats probably true that they like planted aquariums because in the Asian streams there is dense foliage. So they're happy to slither around and about the plants, but they dont know you are also trying to accomplish a nice planting. Their activities will more than likely uproot your plants. That also probably why the article recommends including some floating plants =-)
If you want some colorful cichlids, may i suggest German Blue Rams? I have 7 in my 55gallon and they do very well. They're colorful, easy and have lots of personality. They do some minor digging (espically when they're spawning) but never enough to uproot anything.
