What would you do with this?

I have the perfect space for a 40 gallon breeder but I have no idea what I could do with it. I'm open to literally anything except saltwater and african cichlids except the tiny shell dwellers. The idea of a lone big-ish sedentary bottom dweller is appealing. I could do a shell dwelling cichlid tank. Make it a species tank. Make it a bio. Do a betta sorrity (wrong spelling). So many possibilities but the only one that reapply appeals to me is the lone bottom dweller so I'm looking to see how others would stock a 40 gallon breeder and maybe get some ideas. How would yall do a 40 gallon breeder?

How about a pair of dwarf pike cichlids with some bottoms dwellers and maybe some dithers or I like the idea of a lime bottom dwellers but don’t know any that would work in that tank

Check out what I found on a certain dwarf pike species https://www.cichlidae.com/article.php?id=127
This species seems interesting enough.

Yeah always wanted one but pikes are hard to get in the uk, I think they would make a really interesting tank and you could try and breed them

Rare fish are fairly easy to get in the UK at the moment, it's just knowing where to look.

Well I don’t really know where to look, I tried to contact Lincs fish many a times but never got a reply, where would you say to get rate fish. I’ve looked a wildwoods a couple times and they’ve got nice fish but never any rare cichlids

Rob doesn't do much with the lincs fish page, you have to message him directly,

Well bertie ol boy, I believe that those dwarf pikes I showed in the link are gunning for #1 now. I can't think of many other things that would be nicer then that. I've always wanted a pike. A big 12 inch pike but these midget pikes are just as good .
