Dude I have my RTC 5 months now and he is 15 inches in a 300g tank in process of building a massve pond outside... that is one unhappy RTC....If you ask me they shouldnt have anything smaller to live in... I get that the lazy about the most of the time butr I found with my RTC he loves swimming all over the tank he is really active

a pictus catfish are cool aswel... I had one really active nice colours but my crayfish chopped his his head off :( lesson learned but they are nice catfish
 
i did mention about the tsn...if you like the look of the tsn you could do a lima it would eventually out grow you 55 but it could work for alot longer then the other cats...i have heard that a 18" lima is a massive lima...sorry about all the lectures but asking a question like that in the tanks you did is like throwing yourself to the wolves...if you were only asking for info on it...the best way is to say that you are planning a tank for one and you want to see how fast it could get to size...
 
i haven't had much luck finding a lima. i have looked because i love the shovel nose look. but its hard to find one around here.
 
if your not against it try to order on line...there not to hard to find when i was looking for my tsns all i kept finding were limas...you should find something...
 
im worried about shipping, i haven't tried it but i will when i get the money
 
live aquaria has limas. shipping isnt that much. the only thing is with those tankmates it would be super overstocked in a 55. limas look pretty cool though
 
once you get it post pics...shipping shouldn't be to bad...most places have a live arivel garenty...just have a strong filter set up...my 55gal is "overstocked" but i have 580gph werth of filtration with no issues...
 
once the oscar gets about 5-6" he's coming out of it and going with his bigger buddy.
 
the jd you have will get big enough to go with the oscars aswell...i have a jd that is 10"...you may want to get a larger tank for all the fish you currently have...maybe build your own it is cheaper and you can do any dim you want along as it can house your fish...just some food for thought...the 75gal wont hold the pacu and oscars for long...
