Frogbit will multiple very quickly in a couple of days
Yeah, but fry survival always plummets when tankmates are involved. Also, I have heard a lot of stories about chasing, but chasing isn't necessarily a big deal. I do know of a couple people who had rams that nipped at the corys though.The tank is front and center in my bedroom so that once I'm able to get fish part is getting a bit frustrating sometimes.
I've heard some of those same stories on the web involving Apistos. It was a blanket statement for the whole genus though. I've been looking at some of the websites and forums dedicated to cichlids (instead of just all fish) so far from those, and I'm still researching, it seems like you said that they are good tankmates. I'm not reading anything at all on them about injuries to the corys, it's more about fry survival. Makes me wish I had room for a pair of cockatoos (provided I ever actually get fish again).

I may get an apisto some day. I recently had an issue with my rams, so next I may try an apisto of some sort if I can't get my other little cichlids to pull through. Some sites say they tend to be a bit more aggressive than rams, but I am not sure. I think that apistos mouth wrestle more than rams, so some people view that as aggression. But, thats often just fish talk for " you're in my yard!" Its not necessarily a bad thing unless it happens too much or results in too much stress or an injury.
My rams like terra cotta pots. They make nice, cheap, easy little caves. I also have a lava rock cave.
IN a 40, I think ou would be ok with the corys, apistos, and starlight. You should start with a smaller number of corys than you were originally planning to make sure the apistos play nice, but you can always add more later. Definitely ask if they will order those guys for you!
