Well it looks good for now. But do you have adequate filtration? Most of the time an Oscar needs 55 as a bare minimum.

Just be warned there is a good chance you will need to upgrade to at least a 75g. Oscars can easily reach 14", and as the typical 55g is just under 12" wide, it could cause problems. I upgraded to a 125g for my oscar, silver dollars, and pleco. Sold that tank years ago unfortunately, and God do I miss it... As well as that Oscar. Would let me pet him and feed him from my hand in the water..
