Where you think SA/CA cichlids, African cichlids, some sort of odd-ball?

There are so many fish that can go into a 55 for life, here are some:

angels
salvini
convicts
firemouths
rainbow cichlid
red head Geophagus
SA pufferfish
Tang. shell-dwellers
Tang. yellow labs
Calvus cichlid
African butterfly fish
ropefish
Leopard Ctenopoma

Would be a great Acara Tank or maybe a pair of Kraussi. They may get a lil big for that tank though maybe one Kraussi.

make it a neolamprologus bricardi tank. start out with 12 and let them breed out. It looks really cool with different generations in there.

You can make a community tank. You just plant very heavily and add some small to medium community fish like tetras and barbs. They are relitively cheap and easy to keep.

Is it the standard 55? If so the 12" width really limits what you can do.

Convicts would breed like crazy and be happy for life in a 55.
