I kept africans and plants together a number of times, I'd put the plants in small (tiny) terracotta pots and cover them in gravel, then put the pot in the substrate and put a couple of good sized rocks around it. Vallesnaria grows really well this way. As far as aggressiveness. I had a trio of peacocks and a trio of Red Empress, as well as yellow labs, half a dozen julidochromis and some brichardi in a 45 gallon. There was aggression but it was divided up really well, EVERYTHING spawned in that tank, the julidochromis and the brichardi had the best luck though. I had lots of rock and tried to keep the swimming area as open as I could.
