What About Tinfoil Barbs?

 

[Moshmarine]

those would work, just make sure you've got a large tank such as a 150, since tinfoils are schooling fish and they get well over 1 foot in length

What kind of fish do you like? Schooling fish or what? School of giant danios would be good, some pictus cats or loaches (not clowns, smaller ones), maybe a smaller bichir like a senegal or delhezi?

 

[HiImSean]

in a 55g, no more cichlids. a smaller pleco, smaller poly, or small catfish would be fine. some giant danio would work too

My jack dempsey is about 4" and he fine with my 7-8" oscar and my 2" meeki but anything else i put in my tank seems to be killed by mine. I am doing the same setup as you are with getting a larger tank but the Jack seems to want to be territorial with new fish in the tank, best bet from what i have been told is to put the new fish first in the bigger tank then put the jack in so he is not territorial.
