Not many more. Two potentially 8" bottom fish is a lot in a 55 gallon. Many synos can be aggressive as well. Make sure to provide lots of hiding places. You can fit in smaller species such as Synodontis nigriventris, S. nigrita, and S. robertsi.

Breeding many Synodontis is almost impossible in captivity. In any case, if you breed, make sure not to mix species. Hybrids are an increasing problem with Synodontis.
