you could get away with a few african cichlids if u'r into those fish on the link u posted. just get some lace rock and sweet lookin gravel, sand, crushed shells, whatever you like, and let the colorful fish form their territories.

Ok thanks

not a prob...what kind of fish tickle your fancy? i guess i should have asked first

At this point in time anything that you can think of that is good in a 55G but it has to be a monster i think anything under 20cm will do good does that help?? i was thinking of getting a pair of silver shark.

silver tip sharks get pretty large and actually require salt water when fully mature.

if you go with the african tank you can always throw in a few synodontis cats. they are pretty sweet and can get upwards of 12". could also do some SA/CA cichlids and cats(my personal favorites).
