I would add guppies to the 55 but my angel will eat them, sadly. I'm also taking the rainbows out, they are chasing my black neons around.
I have occasionally had issues with genetics breeding lyre tails, though I'm unsure why. I may have just been unlucky, but I would observe the fry carefully. If there is only one female and seven males, that poor female won't survive a day with so much breeding stress. Most livebearers should be housed in a 1 male to 2/3 female ratio, though it differs with species, age, and size. Good luck! (I use breeder tanks for my breeding programs, they can be put into any tank easily, so fry don't need a separate area, and I can observe them carefully. Plus they won't get sucked into the filter!)I picked up 2 sailfin cremesickles and 2 Red Panda lyetail. I have 7 males and a single female, might add a few more. Any fry that would survive I'll transfer over to the 37g till I can either rehome them or maybe sell them. Not sure yet. Mollys I can breed with ease verses other live bearers I've kept in the past. I have plenty of hiding areas in both tanks so I wouldn't have much of an issue. They are replacing the rainbows and they seem more colourful then them.
