Largest fish for a 55 gallon?

first one is a flower horn. The second one looks like a red terror. the last one is a Jack Dempsey. GET THE JACK DEMPSEY!!!! I have no idea what kind of bichr that is. But the 2 other cichlids get too big for that tank. the only cichlid that you took a pic of and that could fit is the JD.

I know, I said that I was just curious...I don't even get the tank for another month.

I went to a new LFS today and they had a huge selection of giant fish, however not all of them were labeled.
Think you guys could tell me what these are?

I know this guy is a Bichir but I don't know what kind he is.

This one is my favorite, he was labeled as a Jack Dempsey but he doesn't look like any of the pictures of JD's that I've seen?

By the way, I know most of these probably aren't suited for my aquarium, I was just curious as to what they were.

Shenanigans has a decent idea. The right polypterus wouldn't be a threat, and they're fun fish. I know I enjoy mine.

Right? Right now I'm very "I want my tank and I want it NOW". I am so impatient! Which isn't really a good thing when you're in the fish-keeping hobby...
He was about the size of my hand, very cool fish. They also had a Pleco there that was about a foot and a half long!

Polypterus, those are long, narrow fish, right? Do they hide a lot?

By the way, how do you guys distinguish that the fish was a JD? I mean, this fish;

Looks nothing like these, to me!

The fish at the store looks different because of the lighting.
