oscar1986 Posted August 24, 2015 Report Share Posted August 24, 2015 Just wanted to introduce myself. Loving reading all the discussion and info on here! I have a 3yr old tiger Oscar. I have just upgraded to a 4ft tank. I've made the stand myself. I've made a small DIY sump with an overflow system I made out of PVC piping. It is working very well so far. Also need to build in some bracing and a lid as this was a second hand tank from gumtree without any. Currently soaking some driftwood to be added in soon. Has anyone had any luck with keeping any plants with oscars? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hamishh34 Posted August 24, 2015 Report Share Posted August 24, 2015 It tends to be a bit of a hit and miss with them. They like to redecorate as you most likely know so just depends on the individual I guess. Just try it with some cheap plants buried in the gravel and maybe attach some to your driftwood and see if they last or not. Keep us posted!

Heintz.G Posted August 24, 2015 Report Share Posted August 24, 2015 Hi Oscar and welcome, I had some luck Anubias and Java fern but never had any luck with stem plants, like Hamish wrote Oscars like to rearrange the tank to their liking.
