If it eats 5 at a time then do that twice a day.Increase as it grows.
A varied diet is best.If you plan on feeding live then start a feeder tank so you can make sure its getting healthy feeders.

A 55 should work with good maintenance. These are messy eaters, and should be given a varied diet. I have kept several of these since they are native here and can say without a shadow of a doubt they are one of the most aggressive freshwater fish I have ever seen. Make sure you have a tight fitting lid as they are good at escaping.

Why bother getting a 55.A 75 is a much better fit.
If the fish doesn't get stunted it should easily outgrow the 75.I have never had one but keeping a fish that can grow 20" in a does not sound right.
Thats just my opinion,its your fish.
The ten is also way too small now for that fish.
