Do dwarf gouramis eat algae &/or plants?

I added two to the tank yesterday, and they appear to be "pecking" at the hair algae on the bogwood and on the plants.

Just wondered what they are eating?
 
they nibble on microscopic food on the plants, and wont usually hurt them.mine do get mad at me if i add a new fish and will pull all the needles of my hornwort, it's really funny
 
Wow this is wierd, I was just about to post this too!

I also added 2 dwarfs honey gourami's to my tank yesturday, and noticed they have been nibbling on the algae on my plants / tank / ornaments. Was wondering whats up with that.

I'm glad they are doing that it helps clean up the tank a tiny bit. Since it's hard to find otto's around here I've been scrubbing my tank by hand :(
