I'm going to assume you know those oscars are going to outgrow your tank quickly.

As far as plants, first you need to have enough light to support plants. What kind of light do you have?

Yeh Ino got plenty of tank space , when they out grow that there of into a 330 ltr tank , and yeh I hav plenty of light ,

Ha. Oscars and plants...


Some of them tolerate them, but it seems that most (that I've heard of) have a very particular way they like their tanks, and their floor plan usually doesn't include plants...

I actually knew a guy once who put a bunch of plants in a hamster ball to entertain his oscar. The fish would chase the ball around all day trying to get at the plants.
