Fish for a 40 gallon aquarium

It may be a issue with the African Butterfly fish and Wonder Killiefish. Both occupy the top so possibly the African Butterfly fish may become territorial. Also the Killiefish may get eaten by the African Butterfly fish.
Dwarf pike thrives in a much lower ph and much warmer water than the killie and butterfly. Temperament wise the cichlid should stay out of this way.
Consider getting a couple of killies male and female so there is breeding and a constant supply. Butterfly is more insectivorous (though small fish aren’t out of the question), but dwarf piles are piscivores and what can fit is food.
40 Breeder or regular?

I can’t get an African butterfly fish because there ain’t anywhere that i can get one
Red wolf fish. Can’t be kept with tankmates but quite the impressive fish. Begs for food like a cichlid and has the bite of a piranha.
I’ve looked into one myself but my tank (36 bow) just feels too small and I wanted a bit more activity.
All void if you live in a state where they are illegal though.
40 breeder is a good footprint to be able to hold more fish, but probably not the best for mixing top dwellers with bottom dwellers due to the 15 inch height (as compared with the 2 foot regular). I would look into more of a mid tank fish for that size. You would get the most out of that.
