I already have the tanks setup and such. I need some rocks and maybe some wood to finish the looks.

They are. Roughly 30$ I’ve seen some really cool ones. But some are like 100-400$

Also. Anyone have any ideas for a reptiles in a 40 gallon? I was supposed to get a leopard gecko but he backed out. Something again I can handle and interact with

Actually saw a tokay today for 30$ was thinking about it. Do they need UVB? Vertical space?diet?

 

[Deadeye]

I’d assume they are similar to cresties in needs, being nocturnal I’d expect uv to not be necessary. Probably not the best fit for a standard 40. They get a lot bigger than I thought, almost as big as leachies.
Haven’t kept one so others can chime in.

They tend to be evil. Very doubtful you'll be able to handle it.

You CAN keep them any way you want, but to keep them healthy, and not raise stunted fish, you must dedicate yourself to that high maintenance regimen. If and when I decide to have a go at raising discus, I want to grow round fish the size of small plates, not runts with oversized eyes and oblong shapes.

Also, keeping enough high protein foods such as fresh and freeze dried blood worms and beef heart just sounds tedious to me.

I liked what was stated in both of your post.

How about angelfish? Much hardier and less fussy.

 

[The Masked Shadow]

Angelfish like slightly acidic ph, and they like warm water. They are in fact cichlids, so they do get territorial, but you should be fine to get away with Giant Danios, Tetras, Corydoras, Plecos, and Ram's. Although, you should avoid Barbs because they will pick at the fins. The largest species can get up to 14" tall! There are only 3 kinds of Angelfish, Altum, Leopold's, and Scalare Angelfish. There are some articles below providing more information; but the tank size imo needs to be 55 gallons or more for Leopold's and Scalare, and Altums need 75+

Aquarium Size: The actual aquarium size is relatively unimportant. However, the number of angelfish per gallon is critical. This figure varies depending on several factors. Size has a lot to do with carrying capacity. Other variables that affect this include, pH, temperature, feeding practices...
