it gets too big for a 55 and he said he cant upgrade

i cant upgrade to a bigger one cuz it wont fit in my room

Then you're going to be pretty limited, the Neets, Salvini's, Convicts, Cutteri and other smaller cichlids are going to be what you'll be able to keep. Salvini's and Neets would be the most aggressive, but all named are entertaining to watch and keep.

I've never understood the attraction of Tropheus, but maybe I've just never seen one looking its best. Have seen quite a few though.

Mine( male) is only about 2" and he handles my jack dempsey with ease. Kinda worried what hes gonna be like once he matures. He is afraid of nothing

Not in a 55 gallon tank he shouldn't.

I have a breeding pair of salvinis in a 55. The only thing is they periodically "break up" and you need to put a divider in (if you get a pair).

But I have to say, the meanest setup would be a tank of jewel cichlids. I have seen them beat up fish over twice their size. One of them being a red bahia geophagus. You can get jewel cichlids in red, or in blue.
