Alot really, I currently have a solo ceylon puffer in my 55gallon. If you are willing to go Brackish bumble bee gobies, figure puffers and knight gobies make a really nice display tank. A few other oddballs include: Exodons also known as buck tooth tetras which have the equipment to deal damage just like a piranha and can be kept 1 per gallon and the blue whale catfish is a cool oddball too I use to have one. They look like a mini great white shark and have the appetite of one too lol.

To name but a few possibilities...

African Butterfly Fish (can be single, but they are semi-social)
Golden Wonder Killifish (if mixed sexes, at least two females, very dangerous to combine two or more males)
Leopard Bushfish or similar (single or group of 3-5, will limit the size of the smallest safe fish)
Upside Down Synodontis (does best as a good sized group of ~8+ as pretty social, more chance of seeing them out and about besides at night)
Humphead Glassfish (not easy to source, best in group with lots more females as males do bicker, in a group they have quirky habit of schooling tightly together and then will randomly scatter)
Lionhead Cichlids (very protective parents to the point of killing tankmates, while pretty well behaved when not breeding, they may not be colourful but have plenty of personality)
Hoplo Catfish (as they get older, they become quite boisterous/playful armoured tanks)
Porthole Catfish (in a group stocking they can often be found schooling in mid water)

if you have the stomach for marine then a 55g would be a good size for a marine betta:

might not by a typical oddball (if that make sense) but it's an unusual fish that you don't often see

No, hence the key word in the first sentence... possibilities
