I know a GT can liver comfortably in a 55g. As for the Jaguar, well, I did not keep mine long enough to see his final size. I can only follow the recommendations given for the Jaguar as far as tank size.

A 55 gal will last a green terror for probably over a year or maybe 2. Their growth slows down once they hit about 6" or so, but they will end up up to 9" for females and 11-12" for males...so a 72 or 75gal tank would be better for full grown adult fish.
The umbriferus (umbee) or the managuense (jaguar) would outgrow a 55 rather quickly. The min for a jag would be maybe 90gals or so... or more...and probably over 125 (maybe 150-180) for the umbee.
And for dbcb314's pick of a wolf...which is the dovii cichlid, I would probably guess at a massive 180+ tank (they get HUGE)
must be a johanna pike, they make my hair grey when they have tankmates,one of the most aggressive fish i ever had.
