I need to know plants that will go with my albino oscar,Pbass,odoe, channel catfish, and clown loaches
 
The Oscar REALLY limits the plants you can have in the tank. Maybe, if the oscar is still small, you could try a big amazon sword and build up some rocks around the base of it so your oscar can't tear it up.

You could also try floating plants such as duckweed or maybe som java moss.

Good luck.
 
If Floating plants are an option try Frogbit they grow well ,look nice and my cichlids don't bother them.

I only have Jewels and Fire mouths . Worse case your Oscar eats them and no big deal .

i would try any plant that can be tied to driftwood that would be the only plants you could possible get to work. IMO

Wuold water flow and surface agitation irritate these plants? They need still waters like lillies?
 
Ac110 type overflow, is that OK? I always wanted to get a top plant like duckweed or lillies, but I heard they get irritaed and dont do well with lots of movement.
