Lemon, black phantom or rosy tetras could work as well.
Make sure not to get a pleco that will get too large. Common plecos will get too big for a 55g. Bristlenose and rubberlip plecos only get to about 4" and would be just fine.
If you can't find lemon tetras, gold pristellas look pretty similar and are very peaceful fish. Glowlights are pretty, and green fire tetras are cool if you're looking for something less common.
We used Bio-Spira on the tank and so far so good. 4 days in and still no traces of ammonia, nitrates are also looking good. We will also post some pics here soon.
Can you cycle a tank that fast with anything? If so, I should have done mine that way, I threw in six rasboras and waited a month for everything to cycle. The fish made it and are doing great, I just didn't know this was possible.
