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.

Oscars - 1
Me - 0

LMAO! This an all too common story! I quit trying. Mine even try to eat the silk ones!

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?

lol great story! luckily Watchamacallit doesnt seem to mind anything i put in the tank

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

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

some oscars never learn...

well i have had some luch bought about 5 bunchs of plants
2 nights ago from LFS and added plant weights to bottom of all of them
then tied them together and put in corner of tank hasnt been touched since
i put it in there =]

you gotta lucky oscar, at first i thought my oscar was nice and wouldnt touch the plants and now he has beef with my plants.

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.
