Basically, CO2 is usually the limiting factor for plant growth in most tanks.
CO2 doesn't displace O2, so it doesn't directly affect the fish.
With 5 plants (would be helpful to know what species they were) in a 55g, you more than likely don't have near enough plant mass to necessitate CO2 injection.
