Plants for my oscar...?

[dchaos52]

Well, i have a 120G tank with an tiger oscar, green severum, and a pictus cat. My oscar just loves to rip my plants to shreds, so is there any plant (besides fake) that my oscar wont tear at? thanks.

you might want to try Elodia if you have not already.

None that I have found. All the plants I have tried with my Oscars were a lost cause they all got shreaded or thrown from one side of the tank to the other.

I have 3 kinds of plants that my albino oscar completely ignores: java moss, hornwort, and limnobium.

my oscars tolerate java moss. They tore a 2.5ft diameter amazon sword to shreds 2 minutes after I put it in the tank

java moss and water hyacinths can work.

java moss and water hyacinths can work.

do you have water hyacinths in your tank? I thought that was a huge pond plant. grows tall.
