Geting a 55 gallon tank

[mfk4life]

can't go wrong with cichlids. and i love my clown loaches they are crazy and do random stuff. bichirs are also sick. that what i would stock a 55 with. i'm trying to convince my dad to let me get a 100 gallon plus instead of a 55, we are in similar boat man

An oscar will outgrow a 55. If you want suggestions, go to your lfs and see what they've got. Don't get anylivestock yet, but come back with their names and we'll help you put together a stocking probram.
