I got a small tiger oscar for my birthday, so he's taking up residence in my 55gallon. Right now he's only about 2 inches, but I know that won't last long!
I've been moving the current residents out into another tank. The only fish left now are a pearl gourami, a honey gourami, and a rhino pleco. As the gouramis are plenty big enough to defend themselves for the moment, I'm letting them stay for a few more weeks, but I'll have to move them out too. That leaves me with the rhino pleco. He's about 6" at the moment, and plenty safe from oscar, but... I was thinking of trading him at the LFS for another cichlid.
What other fish are appropriate to stay in a 55 with the oscar? I need something that won't get bullied but won't fill up the tank, as I'm sure the oscar will be plenty fine doing that himself.
Any suggestions?
