I split your post from the other one so you can get better advice.

Which cichlids are you interested in buying, that is, Mbuna, other African, South American, etc.?

Are you looking for only colorful fish or are you interested in male/female combos?

What are the dimensions of your 55G tank?

I also suggest that you get more familiar with the scientific names of the fish as it is sometimes difficult to figure out if the common name of the fish is the actual species you are looking to buy. If there are any fish you are interested in buying and only know the common name, please post it in this thread so we can help you identify the scientific name. Knowing this info can help us help you choose proper tank mates and stocking levels.
