Re:Os hate plants! 8 Months, 1 Week ago  
ive got a bare aquarium now as mine hate absolutly everything in there tank and the price of big rocks in the lfs are riduculas. carnt get any decent big lump of wood for the tank as there just hard to come by. im wanting slate in but i think it could be a bad idea as its rather sharp and my big oscars brutal with stuff in his tank.ive got the algae magnet in for ten mins a day now to try get him used to stuf in the tank.
hes coming round to it but still not keen.

ive also tried a big apple snail in the tank but he wuldnt let it be. if i get sum plecs im going to have to build sum sterdy rockery for him to hidein

I have a few plants in atm, most real, a couple fake. They have only lasted because they are sitting at the back of the tank where he doesn't care about!
He still uproots some of them, but I just stick them back in! Gives him something to do.
Best bet is to put things in he can't move and doesn't attack too much!!! No use hurting himself for a rock or such!

As you can see, he's uprooted one plant, and taken the tops off all the other plant!!! Little bugger...

This is on the left side of my tank, covering my heater.
