i have seen pacus in public aquariums that would in no way even be able to barely move in any tank save something in the few thousand gallon range. THEY GET HUGE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The pacu and the oscars will be fine with each other, but your going to need a bigger tank. If you live anywhere near me a friend of mine has a 230 gallon tank that he's giving away for free to whoever will come pick it up. Comes with the stand, lights, filters, the whole deal... for free. I would take it but I don't have any extra room, or I would.
Nevermind about the tank, I just called him to double check (and somehow forgot that it's almost 3 am). Someones coming later this afternoon to come pick it up. Sorry.
Hey, I have a vacant 1196.88 U.S. gallon Ply~Wood tank (that I need to start investing in to get it up and running again) I'll take him. I live in PA. but will travel to save a fishie as long as you live near the east coast that is.

No offense but red pacus are extremely common, which means if you have no means of providing a proper environment for it, you will have a VERY hard time giving it away to anyone. It will grow big and powerful, it's very possible for it to break your 55 gallon tank unless a bigger tank is promptly provided.
