Well the corkscrew val is melting. I gave it some root tabs which will hopefully bring it back. Surprisingly the jungle val is doing okay. The oscelot sword is doing the best though. That stem has bulbs which have since turned in to baby swords at the surface of the water.
The oscars actually don't touch the plants at all. They have enough room in front to dig and are more than happy to do so. The bass love them too. But the bichirs love them the most. When I had the endlis in there I was getting floating plants about once a week. But that's cuz they'd pile up then get spooked and kick up all the sand. Now the bottom is calmer and the plants are happier because of it.
