Its seems like you know exactly what u want....u just want us to tell u that it will work...i say F it all and do what u want if u want an oscar get one and keep it the decor on the low. Same with JD....just do it. You know u want to.

why not just get an oscar then? if you just have the one then im sure youd be fine so long as you dont have many decorations in there so they have room to swim, ive seen people keep 2 oscars together in a 55 and the seemed happy, just be weary of your heater and maybe even your tank being broken, oscars startle easily and when they do they dart into things and swim frantically, could cause damage. but dont think theres any major problems with keeping one with another fish so long as the other fish isnt as big as the oscar.
55 is BARE BARE minimum and your Oscar would not be happy as a Oscar in a 75.
 
alright, i think im gonna stick with a jd and a bichir..

are bichirs good hunters when it comes to feeders?

and also what other fish will eat feeders that can fit permanently in a 55?
 
i know, i just want to view my options, in case a more desirable fish fits what i said, then i may switch it with the jd.
and can someone answer my bichir question?
