Logan_C Posted January 5, 2021 Share Posted January 5, 2021 Hey guys and gals I'm less than a month away from having my fish room up and running. I'm starting to think about stocking ,I want a single fish with personality that can thrive in a 40 breeder. Was thinking about a flower horn but worried that will get to big long term. What fish would y'all suggest? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FrozenFins Posted January 5, 2021 Share Posted January 5, 2021 I wouldn't do a flowerhorn in a 40 unless it was a short boddied flowerhorn. But a 50 gallon would be okay for a flowerhorn. Some good wetpets: -Pea Puffers, Figurate Puffer, Schotdeni Puffer, Potato Puffer, dragon puffer, Green spotted puffer -Fancy Goldifsh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taylor Blake Posted January 5, 2021 Share Posted January 5, 2021 Their are a lot of mid size South American that will do great in a 40 breeder. You could probably do a jack Dempsey or a Salvini Cichlid you could also do a group convicts. If cichlids are something that interest you then their are a lot of species that will work well for you.

H.K.Luterman Posted January 5, 2021 Share Posted January 5, 2021 I'm always blabbing on here about my featherfin catfish, Pooka. She's housed in a 40 breeder, and has a ton of personality. She eats from my hands, nibbles on me when I do work in the tank, comes up to greet me, and does amusing behaviors. Not everyone's cup of tea, but I think she's amazing. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shkote Posted January 5, 2021 Share Posted January 5, 2021 I feel like a disclaimer should be attached anytime anyone suggests a group of Convicts. 😄 Imagine a fish that breeds as prolifically as Guppies, only instead of eating their own fry, they will fight anything to the death to ensure that every... single... one survives. Then when it's done they say, "same time next week?" 😬 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brandy Posted January 5, 2021 Share Posted January 5, 2021 I asked this question recently. I settled on an electric blue acara. Because I am crazy, I have 3 babies in a 40 breeder, with the intention to rehome at least one once they gain size. Here is a thread that might be helpful.
