Okay, so I finally got rid of my 8" Oscar - he was getting too aggressive with my beloved 6" Jack Dempsey, Deejay, and was fouling up the tank with excessive waste. Now that her aggressor is in a happier home, I'd like to cheer Deejay up with some more tankmates. It's a 55 gallon long the dimensions are 48.3" x 12.8" x 21", here's what I've got inside:
-6" JD
-2" Pair of Convicts - I use their fry as live food
>Penguin Bio-Wheel 350
>Tetra Whisper 10i x2
>300w Aqueon Heater
It's heavily planted with plastic plants, and has a bunch of large rock caves and other hiding places.
With the total of 530 gph in the filters, what other fish do you think I can get?
I was thinking Giant Danios, and/or a Black Ghost Knife.
All I want is the best for Deejay.
Any help is greatly appreciated!
 
I would stay away from the Danis as they are likely to get shredded by a jd. Black ghost knife is out for the same reason and they get way way too big for a tank that size.

I would probably do either a female jd or large synodontis cat.
