I have a 55 gal and i think they would get too big for me so i stayed away to prevent suffering. if i had to pick i'd say rainbow. they stay smaller than red tails

[allaboutfish]

55 is good for either

ya i said to big for ME. They get 6 in and my current residents in my 55 are too small to be kept with them. These fish can be hostile and are not recommended for community fish tanks with smaller tropical fish. They seem to behave when kept with larger fish.
