I've got a promising replacement in the tank/pond, but who knows if he will ever develop like his predecessor did?

By the way, I think a 55 is fine for a male, pretty good actually. You could mix him with a few cons and a gang of livebearers (just keep lots of floating plants so there'll always be live food around). The addition of a female would be tough without taking some of the good advice earlier in the thread about dividers. It could be possible, but keep in mind that grammies eat each other in the wild to a high degree! Right now, I have a pair in a 10 foot tank with no issues, but they have other things (i.e. much larger fish) on their minds!
