The first stocking plan would work if you went for just one pair of or maybe 2 of rams. 7 dwarf cichlids in a 40 gallon is not a good idea IMO. Plus you'd be over-stocked if you also put in the other fish you want after that.

I'm not sure about the 2nd but I think a BGK would eat the rams once it starts growing as they get to be around 20" (I'm also not sure a 40 gallon would be big enough but it depends on their activity level - I'd ask in the oddballs section or wait for someone who knows more about these fish to come along).
