Stocking Ideas For 40g

[azzman]

Hi, im currently in the process of finding new homes for the fish in my community tank,
when i have im going to get SA chiclids, i have a angel and a BN id like to keep,
ive been researching for a while but would like to hear some stocking ideas from
people who actually know, fish must be 6"-8" or under and not to bad ass.

Thanks in advance.

What are the dimensions of the tank? Some are 3' long whereas others are 4' long, with the 4' long size 40g's you could probably go with some of the 8" size eartheaters that aren't on the list but are in the link.

Smaller fish like Apistogramma spp., rams, keyhole cichlids, festivums, more angels, dwarf acara's, smaller species of eartheater etc.

List of things you could probably try (finding them all could be tricky).

Dang, you should have stayed with the SA's instead. Hehe. But the old worlds are great fish as well. To each his own, right?

Best of luck...
