I think 55s are terrible tanks for big cichlids. People see them as a large tank, but really I don't think a 12+ inch fish should be in a tank where it has no room to swim front to back, only side to side. A 75 gallon is an excellent size, though. Look on craigslist for a cheap used one, just make sure it doesn't leak lol.

My favoirtes are the craigslist ads that say "Large fish tank for sale" and you open it up and it's a 20 gallon. I've seen 3 different ones in the past month or two.

i agree with whats said about the 12" width. oscars are notorious for the "feed me dance"
if the tanks as wide as them they cant shoot upto the glass and do it!
