Default hoovering and plants

I was thinking of removing my artificial plants and going for real
ones.
What happens when i vacuum the gravel?
Surely i will dislodge the plants, destroy the roots etc.
If you just hoover around the plants does the dirt build up around
them too much? this is probably good for the plants but what about the
fish?

confused,

steve.

Put in enough live plants and you should not need to vacuum the gravel. all
that mulm is fertilizer for the plants.

good luck!
