Banjo cats, they get to 6inch max and are pretty cool catfish, just have some sand, leaves and wood and you have a perfect tank for them. Or brochis species which are like giant cories(about 4inch). Or hoplos they get to about 6inch aswell.
Interesting cats for less than 40g tank

LOL. Go to the store, look into the tanks that most ladies tend to gravitate towards then get that fish. Problem solved
On a serious note: if you're really wanting cats, get ones that will be out on the prowl all of the time, most people have hit and miss luck with most cats as most will be hiding all of the time and come out at nights etc. I never ever see my Jaguar cats out unless It's pitch black in the room and I gotta have the led moon lights on. That's the coolest looking cat but people complain to me that they can't "see it" lol.
Cory cats are really cool when in school and some are really badass super cute. Get the ones with so cool coloring and get a nice number of a school of em. A planted tank and a huge school of cories are going to rock. But if you're not into planted tank, go with driftwood/rock aquascaping and it's still gonna rock.
Bumbleebees do HIDE, they're very good at it, and will come out to grab the food and zoom back in their hidey places. They're that fast and good about it. So the purpose of having em really will be an epic fail with the ladies if they won't come out.
but if you want something so random that's not commonly available, I suggest you to get a pair of something like a Scleromystax barbatus and have twig catfish and a school of tetras in there. Twigs are so active in the tanks and is a great converstation starter lol.
Well whatever I go with it will be backdropped by a school of tetras, likely neons or perhaps something a bit larger. I like the idea of cory cats - I'm not opposed to having two "backdrop" species with multiple specimens of each, tied together by a single specimen of a larger "focal" species, which is what I'm trying to find with this thread. It would be preferable that the focal specimen would be out and about, but it's not absolutely imperative since the backdrop species should stay active enough. The way I've found to create a well balanced tank though is to have one focal species and no more than two backdrop species, with the backdrop species occupying seperate regions of the tank (for example, a mid-swimmer species and a bottom-dwelling fish).
As for planted or not, it will definitely be a planted tank. Not heavily, probably a large focal piece of driftwood with two or three species of plants around it's base and some moss on the branches of the wood.
