I am going to be using it in a couple of months. i want cichlids that are worth something. I wanted to try and somehow sell some.

Rams? idk how much they're worth but in my area you don't see them that much.

Could I have 2 pairs or would they fight?

Can't go wrong with Convicts... they breed every month too...

I have heard that they were worth like nothing.

When I kept my rams I had only one pair in a 25 gal with community fish (platy, Dwarf gourami) and they only went out of their way to attack other fish when they laid eggs. You could try 2 pairs but be prepared to move a pair or add a divider if they fight. Also dithers are a very good idea because towards the end of their tragic lives the male harassed the female until she died

I want something that is worth some money.

You're pretty limited then in a 40. Rams might be your best bet (because of the smallish tank), but it all depends on what sells in your area.

I do not have the money to buy a male and a female.
