No Oscar in a 55g

Yeah, the minimum recommended for one Oscar is about 70 gallons.

Well you can have a Oscar in a 55G but only tempo...it would eventually need 75G just wanted to know if it would be even right to do it tempo but its a no go but got another fish for a 55G?
 
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.
