How about gulper catfishes (Ageneiosus spp.)? They are not particularly easy to find, though, and cannot be kept with small fishes.

Pictus cats are really interesting swimmers. Plus they're relatively peaceful and won't outgrow you tank.
I love them for their barbels though

a 55G could house a shoal of Eutropiellus or Neetropius easily, and they swim like a shark.
Or ditch the 55, get a 125 and make it a brackish Arius speciestank. Arius do fine in small groups (3-5) and although they get fairly big, a 125G can hold a small group. They even LOOK like sharks, but do not outgrow such a tank (wich Pangasius and Pangasiodon will)

A 50 cm Paroon, that is. Very pretty fish. Too bad 50 cm is still a baby.....
