None, they will rearrange the tank for you and destroy the plants.

[lg0815]

thats fine if they rearrange them i just want some real plants

[Gayle]

None, they will tear them to shreds.

I use java moss in my O tanks and they dent even bother it and if you add it to driftwood it makes the tank look great

Mine like to shred hornswort !
They also like to eat some. lol Get them silk or plastic plants to play with.They will be pulling them out steady until they find the right place for it.Usually in the corner.lol I also toss a red and white fishing bobber in there for them to toss around.or tied to a rock with fishing line.

Hornwort. While I had it in my tank my oscar never bothered it once.

They don't even like rocks unless they are trying to move them across the tank.:hmm3grin2orange:

I know they are ALWAYS hilarious to watch!

Mine left my cork screw's alone for months!! Its miraculous... But then one day they didn't like them anymore. However, once they kind of claimed an area as their turf. Mine almost seemed to leave plants alone that weren't near that spot...

But otherwise, my horn worts are the only ones to really last with out any problems. Maybe since they're grown up with them? But they rarely attack them. When when they do, they just move them, then they float and get stuck on another piece of drift wood lol

Dont have to worry about them killing hornworts either, I normally have to cut and throw away about 3/4 of my hornworts every month or two since they grow like weeds and take over the tank.
