Blue Acara grow to 8inM6inF. They are in looks sorta cross of JD and GT. Blue spangles all over like JDs and an Orange seam like GTs have. There is an electric blue version as well.
I am sure there are others that could fit the bill, but being back in the hobby just over a year now I am now well versed in fish without common names. Others will chime in with some choices I am sure.

Could always go with some Convicts, an underrated very busy cichlid. Even better now a days, there are some very neat differently colored cons in the hobby.
Jeff Rapps atm has Marble cons and Marble HRPs (Honduran Red Points) and first time I have seen Platinum Honduran Red Points.
Since cons are smaller can do like 1M2f + some Corries for bottom cleaning some nice dithers to contrast the cons and add more activity to the tank.
Or could do a group of like 5 Firemouths, with dithers and bottom feeders.

What I don't understand is he is about 5 inches now and has plenty of room. I don't see why another 3 inches would make a big deal. I would think an 8 inch fish would be fine in a 55.
The JD tank I am setting up I want to go with fish the cohabit in the wild.

has these videos of him diving with wild JDs. They live with Swordtails, easy to get and a catfish that from what I gather is not in the hobby, so with use something else. Gonna try and make my tank look like in the vid at 3:35. Woody and rocks on one side, changing to heavy planted

Some can bend thier bodies and turn sharper where others can't. I can't say if 4in more than thier body is enough room for them not ever owning them.
That was such a cool video.I can't wait to see your tank.The JD tank I am setting up I want to go with fish the cohabit in the wild.
I guess I have to figure out what to do. I really liked the Severum. I want him to have plenty of room & be happy. I guess I will take him back to the fish store this week. Boo hoo.
