I was thinking a Humu Humu Picasso Trigger, since that is one of the smaller ones, and a moray eel. Not a snowflake, something larger but still small enough. Maybe a ghost eel. I was also thinking about a Valentini Puffer too. So any opinions on those three? I do realize its a bit small for the trigger but only by a few gallons. Would I be able to keep anything else or should I let that be the maximum? Also any comments on fish you particularly like that I could keep in a 55g would be good.
 
In my opinion, a 55 gallon is too small for triggers because they are very active fish that also get fairly large. I also think it is too small for most eels, even snowflakes. If you really wanted an eel you could get a dwarf moray eel. Valentino puffers are a good choice.
For other options, look into frogfish, dwarf lionfish, hawkfish, dwarf angelfish, and wrasses. :)
