Wet Pet

You could always decide which you would want (suitable for a 55g) and buy it as an adult, sometimes it's hard to find depending on where you live, but if your looking for a fish that grows quickly because you want a big fish, just buy one full grown.

That takes away half the fun. I want something that will do most of its growth in 1-2 years. Also, adults are expensive and its difficult to find ones that have been kept under good care.
 
Over the summer I picked up a pair P. Polleni (small spot) and have to say I've grown really attached to them. They aren't Central/South American though. Madagascar. The male is growing really fast and is already developing a hump and is very fiesty too. Just something for you to think about. Mine are gorgeous
 
Get a green terror. They look good,grow fast,and will hit the glass when someone is close to it. Great wet pet. Mine will bite me when I change his water.

a nice green terror or texas cichlid would work. Texas' are personable and tthey are gorgeous, especially the escondidos

A carpintis would be my choice too, although 55g may be a bit on the small side. Gorgeous fish and so much personality!
 
Istlanum

Grammodes get way too shy as a Wet-Pet, Jacks are nice but don't carry the personality that an Izzy will. Istlanum is the closest thing to an Amp in a small package, very owner interactive. At least the ones I have had were.

But that's just my .02
