40 litre is only about 8ish gallons, so won't really be big enough for a group of girls as they'll need plenty of space and it should be quite heavily planted.

Once all the substrate, oranaments and plants are in it will take the volume down even more.

If you really want a sorority I would go for at least a 60litre, so alternatively you could divide that one for a couple of nice males thumbup

No probs.......you could swap them around maybe. Each male would have 4ish gals each.

Sororitys are notorious difficult to keep so the more room they have the better chance of success with them.

the only sucess I have had with a sorority was in a 29 gallon with a huge bunch of silk plants and 5 large ornaments crammed in the bottom.

and even then once I got the "girls" together" 2 turned out to be boys.
