In the water
My dad told me I would get $100 dollers for fish if I got good grades and I get a $50 check every Xmas. So I'm going to have $150 to spend on fish. I want to spend about $50 on plants. I only gave a 55 so all the fish I get can't get to o big. I know that I'm getting a EBJD. What are some cool fish that are in my price range.
 
oscars!!!!!!:headbang2:headbang2 oscars work very well with JD's. just get a JD and one oscar. if not, you could get an EBJD with a pair of terqouise severums, and a parrot fish if u like them..

my old 55 last year was an oscar, three terqouise severums (mated pair) and a blood parrot. which was a large bio load on a tank that small, but water changes and filtration is your answer key. :grinno:
 
First off, snowflake eels are brackish, Pacu can get over 2', and gars will out grow the 55 in a matter of no time, and oscars need a 75 gallon minimum
 
I agree with above. All the fish previously mentioned will easily outgrow the 55g. EDIT: He beat me to the post. Senegals can live for life in a 55g and most loaches can too.

Since it seems you want the ebjd to be the main focus of your tank, I suggest you go with some smaller ram cichlids, a shoal of 6-8 cory catfish, and a large shoal of tetras.
