How big do a Spotted Gudgeon get? I might be getting one.:)
 
Would it get along with some geos and a chocolate cichlid?
 
Sounds workable, if the chocolate is young and the gudgeon is fast. Worth a shot, for sure. I tried adding an Oscar to a gudgeon's tank, but the new Oscar tried to eat the gudgeon. But that's just one try by one person.

I want to have a oscar but i don't know if it would work in a 55gallon with 3 geos, 1 chocolate, 3 fire eel and some giant Danios.?
 
No. No. One Oscar is too big for a 55. One fire eel is too big for a 100. One chocolate cichlid is too big for a 55, I think they get as big as Oscars. 3 Geophagus may be workable depending on the species. Giant Danios are thin, so they don't add too much bio-load, but in a 55, if you had nothing but giant danios, twelve would be the waste limit. They would look pretty cramped once they got to a good size. They are fast fish, you know? I do like your taste in fish, friend. That would be a pretty good arrangement in a larger tank.
