I have got various fake plants in my 300 gallon tank and the Oscars don't bother with them at all. I think it's a case of trying plants and see what happens, the Oscars will either destroy them, or not bother with them. Mind you, Oscars are not the only fish to have a go plants, if you've got silver dollars, be careful, they eat live plants. Other cichlids such as Severums also take a dislike to plant for some reason.

You are lucky your oscar leaves the plants alone. Most oscars love pulling plants up, but all fish are different and you have an oscar that leaves plants alone
Having said that you and OFL both have large tanks so maybe they only attack plants in small tanks (for oscars). Whats the experience of others with large tanks? (say 200g or bigger)

guys, you're lucky! i can't keep a single leaf in my tank! Tiger will dig it up and attack the plants fiercely! it doesn't matter whether they r plastic or real! he is aggressive  ; often bashes the filter and the heater, he is unpredictable, sometimes attacks the pleco but most of the time they r buddies!  |

I have never put plants in my tank.
from everything i've read I just figured it wasn't worth it.
