Criteria:
1.Not African Cichlids
2. I want the tank to look colorful
3. I dont want the tank to look "empty"
4. No discus

If I have eliminated all my options sorry lol but please i am interested to hear your suggestions thanks.

Something easy put a few different schools of 6+ small fishes. Like maybe Bleeding Heart tetras, dwarf neon rainbowfish and Roseline sharks. Those would show some striking colors in the tank.

Why just a 55 gallon? You should wayyyy bigger.

Even a 75 would make a different in stocking.

Perhaps rainbow fish. Their colorful, lots of different types to choose from, and generally not shy.

66 Angles and some schooling fish would look good

I like the Roseline shark idea along with some Congo tetras but I'm not sure how they would get along.

Im thinking.... Arrowana, A few Oscars, Maybe Some Peacock bass.......


But on a serious note I would Definetly go with a bunch of Clown Loaches, some congo tetras and if you like the look maybe some roseline sharks like Mygiants suggested. Best of Luck to ya!

x2 don't limit your self to just a 55g...the bigger the tank the more diff types of fish you can put inside!
