Stocking New 40 Gallon

If I change my mind about the Rams because I have heard they can be very sensitive, what would be a good replacement for them? (2 fish)
 
You're right, they can be very sensitive. You could get 2 Bolivian rams instead. They get a little larger than GBRs and are less colorful, but are easier to keep. Bolivians have a lot of personality and I've enjoyed keeping them.
 
you can get m,ore than just 5 corys, i'd shoot for 7-8.
 
That's nice to know since I've heard that cory's are much more enjoyable in larger groups.

Also, the Bolivian Rams seem like a better option for me than the Germans. They are still a very attractive fish.
