Ideas For Stocking A 40 Gallon Breeder?

[CoryFever]

I went to my local LFS today, prepared to get things for a 40 gallon, but then I realized, I don't know what to stock it with! Feel free to suggest any ideas, I'm looking for an exotic setup, not really interested in African cichlids though. I'm leaning towards central or South American fish, so those would be best. Still, there are so many!

Rams would be cool...perhaps Peacock Gudgeons?

Would I be able to keep multiple species of geophagus together?

Tank is too small for geophagus but you could look at things like Cupids and/or Mikrogeophagus aka Bolivian Rams
