Right now I have a 55 gallon in the process of being set up. Dimensions are 48¼ x 12¾ x 21 (L*W*H), filtration is an Eheim 350 Classic canister filter. I'm staying freshwater with this one, so the main two criteria I'm looking at are either a sort of mini monster or a semi-aggressive/aggressive community. Any suggestions?

In one of my 55s, I've got a pair of adult angels, a pair of SAEs, a little young keyhole cichlid and 3 zebra danios. Just a few fish, but a lot of activity. The keyhole is a ballzy and funny little thing.

Maybe a single larger cichlid like a jack Dempsey or green terror (don't go for anything bigger like an oscar they really need a bigger footprint than a 55 had to offer) or a a pair of something smaller like convicts firemouth salvinis ECT.

Jack Dempsey maybe, GT get too large in the long run really

Personally Id do firemouth. Just a better overall environment. Though IMO Id take a 40b over a 55. I just think 55 is small.

Angels would actually work well for this, taller and more narrow tanks work for em. The height is really great IMO

Bit of an update on the tank. Most stuff is set up save for the filter.
