    API master kit, salt vs freshwater

    Stocking ideas for 40 long?

    I've got a 40 long cycling right now with a clown pleco only. I was thinking possibly angels or other cichlids, I have only kept blood parrots though so I don't know a lot about others compatibility, anyway, any opinions on how to stock this? How many angels would work best? Thanks guys
