Tank setup

Does anyone have a cool 40g tank setup that they would recommend?

You could add a Mbuna cichlid called Yellow Lab or Electric Yellow (same thing). You wouldn't need to plant anything just add lots of rocks and use PFS as the substrate. I'd go for 1 male 4 or 5 females and you will end up having babies too!

Cool, but could I add other species?

Even though labs are one of the more less aggressive they still hit the 6" mark and would definitely require a larger tank of at least 4ft.

I would stock ram's, kribs or a dwarf mbuna like saulosi.

That sounds kind of boring

Tropical, FOWLR, or Reef?

Tropical freshwater

And by the way I only have access to a petsmart or petco

I would think a community tank would be your best bet and focus on your aquascape for that level of excitement you're looking for.

Whats an Aquascape?

The decoration. Like landscaping but inside your tank.

Ok

I'm working on a 55g community now. You really just have to research the different fish you think you might want. Be sure to check their compatibility with each other. If Petsmart offers anything, they do a good job of providing information and compatibility for tropical community fish.
