Do not cycle with fish, please. For as good starter fish, go to liveaquaria.com and they have a section for beginners.

What size is your setup? Clownfish are always a hardy fish to start with. After you have completed your cycle of course. I'm sure you have some fish in mind, what do you like?

For a 40B tank, your fish sizes will be fairly limited. Any other fish you are interested in? A dog face puffer really needs a tank about 4-5x that size.

I've had my tank for a short one and have 2 clownfish and they seem to be doing well

As mentioned above the dog faced puffer would require a much larger tank. I would stick to the nano fish section of liveaquaria.

LiveAquaria is really a great sight. I have a midas blenny who is very cool. I just picked up a royal gramma, clownfish, I have some of the tiny gobies from LA - they are cute but oh so small! I got a pinkbar goby who is really pretty too. Most of my fish are from them.

I have a 40B as well, probably overstocked. I'm making sure to keep up on my water changes.
