Stocking A 40 Gallon?

Okay, I’m getting a 40 gallon tank, It will have all the equipment needed for a 40 gallon, including a heater. What fish would you reccomend for this size of a tank. I would like to stay away from cichlids and any large plant eating fish. I want this to be a community tank with peaceful, non-aggressive. Also, I want areas of the tank covered, Top, Middle and bottom. Also, I don’t want any fish that won’t eat anything other than live foods, because I don’t really want to go through the hassle of all the breeding of them. Maybe I will start a brine shrimp hatchery and growout tank for them. But maybe not.
Thanks for your answers
Oh yeah, this is going to be a tropical freshwater tank, forgot to mention this.
Soupnazi – I thought cichlids needed harder tank water than normal? Will other fish be able to handle this?

What is the best food for African Cichlids?

I have tried blood worms( which they seem to like but i have hears that they shouldn’t have to much protein, brine shrimp, (flakes, floating pellets and sinking pellets they used to like this stuff but don’t really seem to want to touch it anymore) I have heard that you can use fresh veggie but i am not sure what kind and if I have to cook it first or not.

thank you in advance
What are spirulina flakes and where do you get them from?
