Do you have a clean rubbermaid container and a spare heater and filter? if so set up an emergency tank there.

 

[fishlover9000]

Not a big one... and remember it could be another week or 2 before we can afford a bigger tank

Do you have something you can use as tank dividers?

 

[fishlover9000]

what kind of things are fish friendly? Plexiglas?

 

[mfdrookie516]

plexi, eggcrate is best because it doesnt interfere with the natural flow of water, some of the nylon mesh... several different things... they also make tank dividers, but id put eggcrate in before i bought something like that

Eggcrate is able to be purchased at your local hardware stores. It allows water to go through it. In case you don't know what eggcrate is, it is the white plastic that covers florescent lighting. http://www.collins-consulting.org/orchids/eggCrate.jpg

how many community fish are in your 40?
maybe you can disperse the community fish between the empty 5 and 10. then put the most aggressive oscar in there. then maybe there will be enough room for the 2 oscars in the 55 to claim their own territory and settle down a bit
