Sorry - clowns are territorial, so you'd only be able to keep one species in a 40 gallon. You could keep a pair of one species though. Just get two juveniles and the dominant one will become the female, the other the male.
The best you might be able to do is to get two colors of the same species (black and normal percula, normal and blue stripe maroon, etc.) but you'd need to get them both as juveniles and try to introduce them at the same time (if introduced too far apart, the first will claim the tank as its territory and be aggressive to the second.

Not a good idea. The dominant female will continually terrorize and eventually kill the weaker clownfish tankmates. Stick with just one type of clown per tank. If you have a pair they will eventually spawn buy the babies are so tiny that will not survive without microscopic food the first few months. They will wnd up just getting eaten or trapped in the filtration. Hope this helps.

Clownfish are VERY territorial and the females can become aggressive. I would recommend only one.
