Hmmm....tough call. Oscars are brutal in a planted tank.

I would guess here that well established Bolbitis, Java Fern and certain Crypts and Swords "might" work.

From everything I've heard, (and my Dad used to have 2 dinner plate sized Oscars) they really don't do well in planted tanks... you can do fake ones so it doesn't kill them once they are uprooted a million times.
