Decorate my tank (Oscar Friendly)

[Drewhop]

So I have a 75 Gallon tank I just finished setting up. Still need to complete the lighting and hood. But wanted to get a few ideas.

I want to hide the filter tubes (a little bit) as well as the heaters. I also want to get a few large decorations inside one for the pleco to have a place to hide/rest. Also to add a little life to the tank.

Some background behind the residents the oscar hates decorations. It does not stress him out but just like most oscars he loves to rearrange. So I need something large enough that he will not constantly uproot or tip over. I was thinking along the lines of one large piece of driftwood. Some other ideas for the rest of the tank would be appreciated.

Any type of ideas or visual pictures of large oscar tanks or decoration ideas would be welcomed.

Thanks Andy

here is a current pic of the tank

I have mine in a 6' tank so I used some log-sized driftwood to create some cover, that seems to work well, along with some floating plants (floating so it doesn't matter if he drags them all over the tank).

Put some driftwoods and Large Stones and DIY styrofoam background. Here's for ideas.

i would give the fish some rocks and a few big tall plants with a couple big slabs of driftwood.

I have my oscar tank decorated with a fake wooden cave, some real driftwood, a cave made out of rocks, and some fake plants. My oscars also like to redecorate so I bought these things called "planting rocks" and zip-tied the plants inside Now no matter how hard they tug, those babies aren't coming up and floating around.
