IN a 55 gallon?????

For a while, anyway. None of them get that big. ten inches would be large for the gt and pretty big for the texas.

You got a few choices, either overstock it like some are suggesting and use your tank as a grow out - or - you can stock it properly and not hassle anything.

2 male convicts (pink and striped)
1 jewel
10 giant danios
7 tiger barbs

5 serpae tetras.......

Just get a pair of Firemouths. They'll fit out the 55G nicely when they're full sized. Forget Tetra - Tiger Barbs will possibly work for a while.

You are on the right track, but I wouldnt add the cons. They are a bit too aggressive fr the others and themselves. Even Jewel cichlids are very territorial.
