    I put a plant in.


    It gets dug up.


    I put the plant back. The Oscar won't eat.


    He digs the plant up.


    I put the plant back.


    The Oscar digs the plant up.


    I put the plant back, and secure it with two massive stones.


    The Oscar eats through the stems of the plant, leaving the leaves floating at the top of the tank.


    Plant dead.

You need to bring in the Oscar whisperer. Rules, boundaries, limitations...exercise, discipline affection. I think you have a red zone Oscar there, are you really the pack leader? Who owns the tank?

From what little I know, it seems to me you have 2 choices.

1. Forget about plants.
2. Eat the Oscar.

My Oscar stares at the plants, than goes to turn away and totally freaks out and attacks the plants, its really funny to watch. But theirs no winning when it comes to plants and Oscars.
