mark377;4922187; said:Most Crypthoteros would work. Definately not an Oscar. Also firemouths and Salvini's like mentioned, although Salvini's can reach decent size. Maybe Archocentrus Centrarchus can work, they are veeery nice fish. But they get to 8 inch I believe, so a pair in a 55 may be pushing it.
Yes I read it, I was replying to the other post and confirming what you said.Yellow_Perch;4922234; said:did you read my comment above about the oscar? but i will look up those other fish thnx
