55 should be fine for him IMO. Tank mates might be a bit tought though

ok not too sure about oscars
but will he be fine for a few months
in the tank hes in now
our 55 is empty right now
and our biggest concern
is if we have enough time to cycle the tank
b4 he out grows the temp tank hes in now

and sorry for such newbie question

jaguars get rather large, and i'd suggest a 75 gallon as minimum for it. Might wanna make a trip to your LFS and see if they'll let u trade it in for like a green severum, jack dempsey or something that is more correct

he deosnt have to trade it in just because he doesnt have a 75. Its only like an inch
