You are going to continuously have problems with these types of cichlids in a 55. Jags are highly territorial and soon it will want the 55 for itself. You will have fights between the Oscar and both of the Parachromis until you separate them.

it might work in a bigger tank, so should separate and upgrade, then maybe try mixing again, but as it goes with big aggressive cichlids, no guarantee
