Yeah I might do something along these lines... Should look rather good. Could even mix up some Regular tiger barbs with greens and albinos to add some variety.

sorry but youre mistaken. the minimum is 55 for an oscar. my dad had two of them in a 55 full grown healthy no fighting with some small drift wood and a canister filter. he had them for about 10 years in that tank so go read a book.
maybe try some black gravel or sand with a dark backround. all the fish color would pop. maybe do anatural set up natural pebbles a couple plants some drift wood.
ask ANYONE on here... they will tell you a 55 is way to small.. your 30 and 29 is way over stocked.... for some one stating an oscar is ok in a 55, sure has some overstocked/fish that dont belong in small tanks..
not arguing with you either dogg.. any smart fish keeper would know a 55 is to small..
OP, dont do an oscar in a 55.. oscars need atleast a 75 min..
1 severum 1 firemouth ( MAYBE one more smaller cichlid, like a rainbow cichlid ) with one huge school or two smaller schools and 8 corys.

if you have more then 1 firemouths, they will breed and push/abuse the odd firemouth.. i dont think he wants any fish that will breed..... i would stick to one firemouth.
55 gallons have a 12 inch width and oscars COULD pass this width... but honestly a 55 would house an oscar for quite a while but I do agree it is not good for life for them.
I want a breeding pair of firemouths. so That is why i'm looking to grab a couple of them and hope they pair up. Have never bred fish before and I feel like this would be a good place to start.
