Oscar Tankmates

[pcfriedrich]

If you have plans for a larger tank (at least a 75, bare minimum), you would be fine. However, the oscar itself is going to outgrow the 55 by itself.

yeah, an O and JD are great together. but plan on buying a bigger aquarium no more than a year from now. I'd go with a 75, 90 woldn't give you any more floor space. a 100($265) would cost you twice what a 75($130) would, so if you are going bigger than a 75, you can get a 135 ($275).

Yes, Oscars don't belong in 55 gallon tanks, and Mollies, in my opinion, shouldn't be in fresh water.
