have an empty 55 and was wondering what to do with it i was leaning towards a single fish set up. Just fishing for ideas.
 
bull convict .. with 5 giant danios and a striped raphy.... con would be interchangable with other C.A. cichlids of choice (cutteri..firemouth...ect..):popcorn: I like nics ,too
 
i keep reading a GT is to big for a 55 and i have a rescue JD i another 55

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.
