The shell dwellers aren't an option. I would try keyhole cichlids or some ram cichlids. Also if you're more experienced you could try angelfish.

Oh multis...hmm well I dunno I've only heard one thing an that they were great...hmm I don't know maybe you should wait for someone who has more experience with multis to come and respond to your thread.

would a single severum fit?
or are they to aggressive

The multies need a much different environment. Severums get too large for a 55 IMO. Their aggression really varies from species to species. A keyhole is a good suggestion as well as apistogramma, geos, bolivian rams, angels, etc. Stay with a 4-6" max size and be sure they are SA fish and you should be fine.

ive heard about geos but im not very familiar with them but i am quite interested, if you could name some non aggressive and ones that look really cool. and also the same problem with angels i like them but am not to sure i might be over cautious though

Sajicas get my vote for best looking peaceful CA fish, or as peaceful as any medium sized SA/CA fish can be.
