To me 55s are never big enough for adult oscars. They get about 2'' too long.

if the dimensions are 36Lx18Wx 20H

that will suit an oscar well

It says in your signature that you already have an oscar.

Oscar's can turn on a dime, a 55g works just fine. Not only that, but you don't really count the tail in the overall length of a fish.

I have never ever seen an oscar near 2'. I know this is a fish site but lets not "tell fish stories". they might get that big in the wild but not in home aquariums.
