I hear alot of ppl say its too small tho and just want some ideas

I guess it would be to small for 2 fully grown adults that done like each other, but if you have 2 that like each other, it shouldnt be a problem.

This is a topic in which there will not be agreement among posters.

For everyone who has successfully raised and bred oscars in a 55g...there will be people who consider anything less than 75g per oscar to be "torture"...and people in between.

Oscar health is largely based on care. Smaller tanks will require more water changes.

Yes you could, provided they get along. That's the key though...if they continue to get along you can do 2 in a 75 provided you're prepared to do A LOT of w/c. If you've got the space though I'd hold out for a 125, then you could try an eel or other tankmates, and not be stuck doing up to 2 50% w/c weekly.
