I was wondering if I had a Red Cherry Zebra and a Blue Johanni in a 40 gallon would that be okay or would they not be able to thrive and grow to their full potential?? Its just a thought as of right now.

They should be fine... you could most likely add 2-3 more of each species as well... what are the dimensions of the tank??? it would matter if it was long, standard, or tall, but bnoel's idea would most likely work better!
10 gallon: 1 betta, 5 neon tetras, 1 mystery snail
29 gallon: 1 gold & 1 opaline gauramis, 5 serpea tetras, 5 pristella tetras, 4 neon tetras, 3 cory cats, 1 ghost shrimp
75 gallon: 8 electric yellow labs, 7 cobalt blue zebras, 4 acei, 2 OB Peacocks, 1 rusty(?), 1 chinese algea eater, 1 albino bristle nose pleco
He of the dog tooth.
What are the dimensions of the tank?

Yeah thats what i wanted to know as well, why_spyder. because if it were longer then then could have more fish, but witha tall/standard tank they could maybe get the 2...

its a 40 breeder tank so it is about 3 ft long

With a 3' aquarium I would do only 1 species with a single male and multiple females (3 or more).

i dont know if you've thought about stocking but some really good choices would be yellow labs or saulosi i would recommend the saulosi because the males are blue and the females are yellow so you would get 2 colors and still have only one species. In a 40g for saulosi i would think you could do 1-2 males and 3-6 females maybe someone else might chime in...
