WOW! ok, can you make a video, post pics of you how set it up? doesn't he rip up the plants? do you have special lighting? thanks
It has Eco complete for substrate.Yeah,the left hand corner,behind the wood with the java ferns that look ripped up,is his "spot" so that corner no longer has any plants.Other than that he leaves them alone for the most part.They are all lowlight,easy to grow plants.I use 5 cap fulls of flourish excel when I do water changes.Here is the light I use,http://www.thatpetplace.com/pet/prod/209500/product.web
nothing special,and cheap.
Give me a minute,I don't have any step by step pics or videos of me setting it up,but it has gone through some transformations from what it looked like from when it was first set it up.Let me see what I can find.
 
A few more.There is one in there of a 20g with pea gravel when he was a juvi.And I also took a pic of my hand after he bite me once.

NICE! I shall steal your aquascaping ideas! that bite looks painful! my first oscar bit me as a juv. and i was so shocked! What are some good tall plants? also what size is your tank? Do you use a canister? i want to get an XP3 for my 55g
 
55g. I run 2 Emperor 400's.The majority of the plants I have are wisteria.Tall,bushy,and grow like crazy.There is also some Rotala indica in the background,and a Christmass moss wall.There is a Amazon sword in the middle in front of the moss wall.Some kind of Crypt in front right corner,and Java ferns in the driftwood.
Good luck with your tank. And steal away! PM if you need any help.
