stock ideas for a 40b

[Rivers2k]

id say no sa/ca can be in a 40 other than a firemouth or a convict

I disagree there are many many sa/ca that will fit in 40b. Its one of my favorite tank sizes for cichlids.

Firemouth and cons wich you mentions then
Other firemouth types like passionis and elliot.
sajica
cutteri
nanunanoluteus
Honduran red points
Several acaras
rainbow cichlids
salvini
Apistos
Rams
Festivum

I am sure there are more that is all I can think of right now.

Some barbs may be ? Rosaline sharks

You'd be able to create a really sweet set-up for a breeding pair of Blue Acara if you were so inclined

You could do maybe 2 blood parrots and a pleco

I am looking at picking up a 40b in the next week or so. My problem is stocking, I have no idea what I want to put in there. I would really love to have a nice colorful "center piece" fish such as a EBJD but do not know what else to put in there. I would really like some smaller schooling fish to have a lot of movement. Any input or suggestions and other ideas will be greatly appreciated. I would love to keep it american cichlids and fish that can be housed with them.

Careful what you choose for the smaller fish or yo definitely will have a lot of movement... until they eat them!!!! But try looking into Red Shouldered Sverums to go with your EBJD... maybe one pair each at most for a 40B .. I've got 4 Albino corydoras with my Dempseys and they get along fine; but the corys are fully grown too.

Firemouths and Convicts need more room than any of the cichlids I mentioned.
