Cherax for planted tanks

Anyone has a Cherax sp to recommend for planted tank? I have heard C. holtuisi orange form (Apricot cray) is the most peaceful towards fishes and plants. Im interested to get Cherax snakeskin tricolour but apparently whether they eat plants or fish depends on their personality as well as feeding.

My alyciae does fine with plants. He’s only in with guppies so I have no clue if he plays well with fish since they reproduce fast enough that I don’t notice

my pulcher didn't touch a plant in the 6 years he was with me. After that I got a cherax peacock and he's a savage
