A 75g would be more desireable for a Fh.
May i suggest a male Carpinte, preferably Escondido, for your 55g. They have spectacular markings and colouration. And due to the amount of territorialness some of these beauties pocess they can become somewhat of a glassbanger.

there are people with Fh's in 55's(should have a lot of w/c), but yea a 75 would be better!
you could try a breeding project in there!
i know you wanted one really nice fish! but how bout 2! that breed!
but thats what i am doing when one of my 55's free up!

i agree with you MARC... a esco carpinte would be BADASS!!!! i have a female right now in a lil 29g. she's a slow grower, but HOLY HELL!.. she is most DEF a GLASS BANGER!!!!!!!! really REALLY pretty too. a nice turqoise color (or however you spell it) haha... she laid eggs a few weeks ago. im just waiting to find her a nice looking male from Rapps. 
I would get a Oscar perfect for a 55g will get big fast and will take up the tank... A albno red with all black gravel...
guys u all know that oscars, devils and flowerhorns are too big for 55. 75 is at the mininum.you should just get the texas or a community of fish
