Picked up another 55G today w/ canister filter, decorations, driftwood, glass canopy & light... FOR FREE!!!

What should I stock it with? Was thinking a temporary small mixed American Cichlid tank. Suggestions...
 
If you're going American, your probably going to want to go with peaceful south American options. Apistogramma, rams, angels, discus, festivum, keyhole, etc. You could do some tetras/catfish etc with them as well, and if you wanted you could make it a planted tank.
If you wanted larger fish or central americans, you could do a pair of any of the sub-8" fish like thoricthys or archocentrus, but I wouldn't recommend a CA community for this tank size.
