GT is basically stocked for a 55. You can try a couple of FM in there if you want if all the fish are small, but you will need to find a different stocking plan once the fish get bigger.
There is a size discrepancy in adulthood between firemouths and GTs. I would think that it would work, but it depends on the fish. If you go with them, make sure and put plenty of hiding spaces and be prepared to take a fish or two back of necessary. My old GT used to push other fish around but he never really did any damage. FM will put up a fight if the fish is the same size, so I would suggest trying to get a bigger GT and give the FMs places to hide. If this was a 100 you might be able to pull it off for the life of the fish.

i think your getting this mixed up, not a GT and a FM its a GT alone or one FM with some schooling fish
Ahh... a GT is perfect for a 55. You could keep a firemouth in there with some dithers, but since FM's only get to about 6 inches you could keep 3 FMs in the tank with some tough dithers like silver dollars for Giant danios, maybe add something like a synodontus catfish or two if you wanted to go with one FM. It would be more entertaining with more FMs though.
If you do go for multiple FM's, make sure to add all at once. I made the mistake of adding some more FM's and the one that was established terrorized the newbies.
