Pretyy much these are your more popular options. You can also do a rotkeil and maybe a couple fancy plecos

A Gold Saum would be fine for a while, but would need a bigger tank once it reaches 8". IMO, any Cichlid that gets 8" or larger will need a wider tank than a standard 55G. Even with a JD, a 75G is a much better option. Often times I look at my big male JD and couldn't imagine him being crammed into a 12" wide tank. Make no mistake, they grow into large, thick, and powerful fish. If it was me, I'd do a gorgeous pair of Cons or HRP's from Rapps.

You could go with a gsp or 2 if you want to go the brackish route.
