40 Gallon Tank

[aquariumart22]

I'm having a hard time figuring out what I want to do with this one guys! We went on an innocent trip to get some plants and they were having a dollar per gallon sale on fish tanks I ended up with a 20 gallon long and a 40 gallon, I think I have an idea for the 20 but I'm stumped on the 40. I know, even I have heard this a thousand times but I want something different. I have rasboras, rummy nose, cories, gourami, Kuhli loach, barbs and catfish I need something different I'm really open to anything. Water is fairly soft with a ph of around 7.2. No rams please as I haven't had luck with them. Thanks in advance

If you want something different how about Puffer fish? if you are up for the challenge you could look into a Brackish set up.

I really was thinking about that, I just worry if I'd be able to find them around here. I've never seen any in my LFSs. I know their are different types, going to do some research and seriously going to consider it. Thank you so much

That was my first thought, i wanted a mbuna tank setup but i did some research and its too small for that.. I'm afraid ill get bored with just one species, any suggestions? I was thinking of doing a pair of kribs in my 20 long but I'm open to a suggested species for the 40 I can always change my mind. Thanks!
