I wouldnt personally - a 55g is too small
just for the oscar.
If you were to upgrade, a pleco or a large
catfish usually are the recommended tank mates
for a large oscar.
You would need a tank twice the size for that though.

Don't add any other fish with your Oscar. You are really with the limits & an Oscar needs a 75 gal. tank.

I would not add any other cichlid, as stated above 55 is only big enough for 1, plus big oscars that have been on their own tend to want to stay that way and will fight/kill new additions even another Oscar
