Thanks

I prefer the oscars. I can't speak from personal experience but they just appeal to me more.

oscars all the way I don't really know why because they make a friken mess but then they look at you and they're forgiven

IMO oscars, i work with all different size ones at work and all of them are so easy to hand feed too.
Oscars all the way!

JD. more colorful. very personable too. also more uncommon than oscars which i think get bland as they get bigger

Not an oscar because a 75 gallon is much better for them, most will outgrow a 55 gallon.

I agree with MegTheFish here. An Oscar has the potential to become so big that it cannot turn around very easily in a standard 55.

Get the JD. It would be happier than the Oscar IMO.

I like oscars better but they will get too big

 

[pica_nuttalli]

i have to go with the JD, also for the size reason. nothing makes a tank look sadder than a fish that can barely turn around inside it.

 

[Whiskerz]

Never had an Oscar, but I love JD's

Mine has the biggest personality Also more colorful than an Oscar

I'd go with the JD

I think they're both really common but Oscars seems to be more active and fun.

If it wasnt for the size of the tank being 55 gallons, i would of wanted an oscar. But since its only a 55 gal tank, i would get a jack dempsey. I used to have really nice jack dempseys, but i got rid of them because of my lack of tank-space.

Ditto.

JD! Partly cos of the tank size issue and partly cos they look much nicer!

I like oscars, only if you have the right size tank for them.
