I have an 8 inch oscar in a 55 gallon tank and it looks so lonley in there can I put anything in there with him to liven up the tank. He won't eat feeders and more, only ghost shrimp so i can't put the feeders in there because they get to big and the tank starts getting cloudy.
Answers:
A 55g is really the bare minimum for a single oscar, so another oscar mate would be out of the question and also being 8inches he mighten take to lightly on another bigger fish being thrown into his territory and might bash it.
You could try a decent size pleco or something like that? An adult bristlenose even?
not alot of them will take to a new fish that size but ive had a gold fish in with mind he didnt eat him so anyway try this site maybe they can help thousands of your questions have already been ask and answer there and you could try another oscar i know the tank is not big enough but mine didnt seem to matter i just clean it every weekend

i would only put in like two more south american cichlids in there. I have a love for my Jack Dempsey but he is considered aggresive. I would put in another oscar maybe albino, pleco, and a green terror
try red belly pacu they will also eat feeder fish and that might liven him up
I agree with jo_funk
a 55gal tank is just the right size for 1 adult oscar. Oscars would rather be alone the only time they seek out other fish is to eat them or to mate other than that they dont care.
One oscar needs about 55 gallons. You can get him a pleco, but it must relative in size. Maybe a pair of Green Terrors would suit you.
