Africans in a 40 gal?

You could probably put some dwarf Mbuna in there like Saulosi or Demasoni. I think a 55g is the more comfortable base for AC's but I believe the dimensions of a 40g breeder might be similar in length.
If you go the Demasoni route, just make sure to get 10+ so aggression is spread out, they are awesome fish but are super intolerant of their own kind.
The male/female Saulosi color combo is always nice, like so:

This does sound like the best combo for you since they are smaller then most and the color combination between the male and females are stunning together.. would be very nice set up until you decide if you like the africans and want to go bigger tank..

In my experience africans are very easy to care for and hardy as long as you dont feed them a high protein/ fat diet... high ph like around 7.4 + up to 8.6 or so and you should be good to go...

If you are new into africans may I suggest labidochromis caeruleus and pseudotropheus acei? They are one of the more peaceful mbuna. They tend to better over stocked for keeping aggression levels down. I would put about 15 mbuna in your tank. Is it 48'' long?
40B are terrific for africans. Have no fear in them. Salousi are a great colony fish to do as well.
