OK, after good deal of research here is the lineup I came up with:
1 Half Black Angelfish - I knew that most angels get aggressive, but I've read that this is a peaceful species and will not harm my other tank mates.
1 Pearl Gourami - I have him in another tank and love him to death. He's mature and full size.
6 Zebra Danios - I've kept these fish since I first started in the hobby, and they are one of my favorite fish. However, in the past I've never schooled them (silly, I know). I've always had ten gallons so I've never really had room for a school. I'm looking forward to it.
6 Gold Platys - Same story as the danios.
2 Marigold Swordtails - Also had these fish from day 1, absolutley love em
1 Black Ghost Knifefish - I know I'm going cause a lot of debate with this one. Everyone on the board here seems to think that a 55 is too small for a BGK. However, through research, I have read source after source after source saying they rarely grow past a foot in captivity, regardless of the tank size. Besides, if he gets too big for my tank, I can always find him a bigger home.
What do you guys think?
