Here's my 65 gallon tank with my 2 oscars. Anyone have any suggestions or ideas to make it look better? I'm having a hard time as I really cant have plants in the tank (the oscars rip them out). Any feedback would be awesome! :confused:

Add some driftwood and interesting rocks. I'd try to clear up the water as well.
 
Need a better pic. You may want to paint the back black if you haven't already.
 
yeah clear up the water, maybe a fake plant? some look pretty cool and natural, um other than that i would say rocks flat ones, build something out of them
 
Glue some rocks to fake plants. They will stay at the bottom and upright at all times. Get a big one for the back, med ones in the middle, and some ground cover in the front. Tank would look hoTT! Although IMPO I would only have one O in a tank that size. Clear the water up too! Keep us posted.
 
A nice piece of driftwood and some plastic or silk plants. I had the same issue with my oscars pulling them up. They would tear plastic ones apart but I could reconnect them like legos. I always dug around in the tank anyway and did weekly water changes so rearranging things was just something I got used to doing. Try a background also. I liked black when I kept oscars. You can even try some floating plants. I think it will look good once the water clears up
 
Thanks guys, I'm working on the water and clearing it up but my nitrates and nitrites are high which isnt helping much...Should be clearer in a day or two with some water changes.

I'll post some new pics when its clearer.

Thanks!!!
