Just some info on the bumblebee. I personally would skip it its gonma get to big for your tank and since its already more territorial and aggressive with it in a smaller tank.then needed it can become much more aggressive as it grows . These fish grow fast and can grow up to 4in in less then a year. Trust me on this i got a fish i thought ibcould add no problem to a 55g he was only 3 1/2 max but i ended up in less then 6mths having to upgrade to a 125g 6ft long tank to keep him from killing my other fish and he is still a handful
If its just the coloring you like they wont stay that color as they turn mostly black when mating/getting more mature and there is other fih smaller and better suited for a 55g community but at the end of the day its your tank your decision
Looks like our gonna have the same probl with the electric blue its an 8in aggressive fish

With cichlids your also gonna need more filteration then required for a 55g its usually like 5 or 10 times more.. for example on my 55g with 18 fish i had a penguin 350, top fin 60 and a xp2 canister .. which i have 3 hob filters on my 125g now and am gonna add my canister to it
What size?
I breed yellow labs and sell every last one of them... Not sure why you would say you cant sell them.
in.my area they're a.dime dozen I've tried many times and.no luck.end.up keeping them my self or letting nature take effect
