:p I recently set up a 55 gallon cichlid tank containing 1 Tiger Oscar, 1 Pleco and 2 Cory Catfish. I've always had some size and type of aquarium set up since my childhood. At one time a 55 gallon saltwater. I'm new to cichlids and wonder if there are any fish I can add to the tank.

I wouldn't add anything to the tank without getting a bigger home for your Oscar. It will outgrow a 55 before too long. If you want to keep multiple cichlids in a 55, rehome him and get smaller stuff.

In addition, my friends oscar tried to eat his cory cat. The cory was lodged in the Oscars mouth. Both died as a result. I would rehome the oscar asap.
There are many cichlids that will do fine with cories and won't outgrow a 55.

I almost lost an Oscar because of him trying to eat a cory cat. It got stuck in his mouth. I would relocate the cories, or the Oscar. Together probably won't work out.
