Tankmates?!?!? Is that 55 is the end-home for these fish?? One oscar is too much for that tank,nevermind 2 and more !! Do yourself a favor,bring the Oscar back and get a Jewel Cichlid or ONE Firemouth!!
You already have more than that tank will eventually be able to hold so you might want to rethink the extra fish. Aquariums can look relitivly empty at first but as the fish grow you find yourself with a problem on your hands.
The rule of thumb with Oscars and aros is either one or many but I have two Oscars that have gotten along famiously from day one, about 8" at the moment. I'm not going to take the chance and get a secound aro even though it's really tempting. LOL
Situations often change as the fish grow and mature so keep alert and be ready to step in with larger set ups if and when necessary.
