Plants and an Oscar? ........

 

[liljoe0985]

yea...im gonna TRY it, ive seen a few people with it but for the most part ive heard they just uproot everything sooo i dunno i do wanna try though, WHERE THERES A WILL THERES A WAY haha

I have never...in over 30 years in the hobby...been able to keep oscars with ANY sort of live plants.....very few O's will even accept plastic plants...lol

 

[liljoe0985]

guess its worth a try :\

If you are going to try this Herculean task... put them on pots. This won't keep the oscar from messing with them, but it sure will make replanting them easier. For a general fertilizer go with CSM+B or PMDD premix off www.aquariumfertilizer.com. It comes dry and it is very cheap.

yea im definetly goin potted just to keep them from uprooting them but keepin them safe generally is goin to be the task

Aqueous iron or clay balls containing iron will help crypts. You can get realistic results planting behind a false glass back/barrier if your determined to keep plants with oscars.
