even in a sand tank kuhli loaches would do no harm to your plants. they are just to small to do anything.
I got 3 in my tank that are some of the biggest I've ever seen almost as fat as a pencil!!!! I had to have them when I saw them for sale, they look so awesome at that size, but they only grow to be like 3" in length so never a problem with plants.
LIke the others have said, you'll NEVER see these things in a planted tank, so you might want to consider something else. They ONLY come out at night, and in a big tank are impossible to see even at night.

I have 3 Kuhlis in one of my tanks, with 2 corys, and they never bother eachother, I don't think they even know the other one is there.. very peaceful, and they've never harmed my plants.. if it's densely planted in atleast 1 part, they might come out. I have one living under my group of crypts at the moment..
I have 3 striped kuhlis, 1 black or java kuhli, and 6 peppered corydoras in my planted 55 gallon. They get along fine. My kuhlis love to lie in the plants and on top of each other. As long as they are in the shade and cover of my plants, they don't mind squirming around during the day time. They aren't scared of me unless I make sudden movements. They lie right at the front of the tank in the dwarf sag most of the time where it is easy to enjoy them. They are so cute and fat! ;D
