There isn't really a single "wet pet", non cichlid, that is active and can fit in a 55 for life. You might have to switch it up. Maybe go the opposite route with a lot of active smaller fish. Some smaller barbs, corys, and a crayfish. If you still want to do the wet pet thing, get some dwarf puffers.
Man I absolutely love the Colomesus asellus. The only reason I don't push them like a dealer is I have not had success keeping them. I'll have to hit you up for tips if I try them again.
^ Dwarf puffers are = Carinotetraodon travancoricus, the ones you are stalking about are commonly known as the South American Puffer... great puffers if you can find a group of them and dont mind a little teeth trimming...
Ok OP, my first suggestion, although a cichlid, would be a breeding pair of discus. They will be beautiful in the tank and since you're going bare bottom, maintenance for them should be pretty easy.
Another suggestion, a bottom dweller, would be 6-8 pictus cats. In a group such as this they should be pretty active and fun to watch.

Once again a puffer seems like the perfect personality and are best kept solely.
A Green Spotted Puffer would be good, the brackish set up isn't hard to maintain. And you have a saltwater tank so you obviously wouldn't have any trouble with it.
You're from Schoharie? I'm an upstate New Yorker too. Eddie's has decent fish, Davey Jones Locker is cool too.

Wish you posted this a month ago. I sold a shortbodied kamfa for dirt cheap. Would have made a great solo 55 fish
