okay as some of you may know i just took possession of my 55 gallon tank from my now x gf. to be a nice bf i let her choose the fish in the tank since it was in her room anyways. now i have it, it currently has 2 ID sharks, 1 silver dollar, 1 clown loach. well this tank setup does not meet what i want at all they are all too tame and kinda lame. so the actual setup of the tank is one marine land emper 400 and a penguin 200, with normal gravel you buy at a pet shop that's a 25lbs bags. i got two of them ones the blue the other is like a black. i have thought bout buying some cichlids of some kind, along with a wolf fish, or another oscar. i thought about these, but i don't wanna only have one fish which kinda knocks the wolf out basically. i don't have a lot of time to go and look at the local fish store, but do know what my friend could get me though. i can't wait to hear your guys suggestions.
 
oscar is gonna get too big for a 55, wanting cichlids in a 55 but wanting multiple fish can be a bit tricky, but is doable. If you wanted to try maybe an electric blue jack dempsey and a couple severums that could work, and the EBJD would look sweet against that gravel
 
does look like a good fish. just don't know much about the dempseys so i will be looking into everything that's suggested though.
 
ya too many and i don't know what i could all stock in it with out it being over stocked/having a fish out grow the tank.

can convits live with dempseys/chiclids?
 
don't put plecos with bichirs, some have a tendancy to eat bichirs slime coats
 
Wait, did you say you have 2 ID sharks in there? 0.0
