Low Tech Plants With Oscar, Sd's, And Blue Jd

[dcj38]

I wanted to put a couple of very very very hardy plants that need not a lot of light in my 90 gallon as im going to have silver dollars, an oscar, and I already have the electric blue dempsey. Can you guys tell me if there are any of these that fit the description?

Dont think any of those fish are compatable with planted tanks, Silver dollars are well known planted tank destroyers.

You could try java fern, although I have heard of the silver dollars' reputation for destroying plants too...

Id say all those fish will quickly destroy a planted tank.
I used to have some tinfoil barbs and the only plant they didn't eat was a java fern.
Everything else was destroyed soon after it was put in the tank.

oscars needs to be in a 125 g minium.. but w/e.. Silver dollars will tear the plants apart like they never seen them before.. so i'l just save money and not buy plants..

What about using some kind of moss and tieing it down to pieces of driftwood? That would look great IMO. Only problem is I don't know how tasty your fishes might find moss (Xmas or Weeping moss)...
