And 1 more question... why was my male striped convict $3.99 and my female pink convict $6.99


Because some pet shops pretend that Pink Convicts are uncommon and therefore worth more...

Did i get a good deal or ripped off?

I think the LFS got a good deal this time around.

BTW oscar is in a 55G by himself

Well... I couldnt house the RD AND Oscar together for life, and the 20G long tank was too small for the poly (I love them but I couldnt bring myself to let it live a miserable life in a small tank)

IMHO you can't in good conscience even keep just the Oscar in a 55g for life. After all, you wouldn't want to let it live a miserable life in a small tank, right?
 
U got an 8" Oscar in a 55gallon... that might be good for the time being.. but its actually really small.. a 90gallon is enough if u want to add anymore fish...

That 55gallon... u better make sure that ur not adding anymore cichilid.. NOTHING at all... That oscar will not claim the tank as his own... u can do some pleco or some clown loach.. but thats it...
 
well, I have heard from many many people that oscars will thrive in a 55G tank... I have heard 75 is better... (I am soon getting one) and the Oscar can Live in it if 2 EBJDs would be happy in the 55 the O is currently in

its your fish... they might ya... assuming ur oscar isn't a killer...
 
and btw, thats exactly what I want ONE fish in that tank. I like the looks of a big fish in a tank by itself... IDK why its just appealing to me. I will try to post the pics again because they didnt upload the first time
 
no, I meant when I get the 75 give it to the oscar and house the EBJD in the empty 55H
 
sorry about the blurry water, I just did a substrate change
