Livestock suggestions for 40 long aquarium (48L x 12D )

Hi there...

I have a 40 gallon long aquarium. It was a give-away, and the glass is scratched so I don't want to use it for an aquarium. I had my hopes up for a Mali Uromastyx, but they need at least 2 feet deep...so it looks like I'm out of luck there.

What else would do well in a 40 long that is only 12" deep?
I'd want something friendly....like a uro. :)
At first it was going to be an aqua-terrarium, but not sure...

Some hints, though:
No snakes ( couldn't feed rats..I keep them as pets. )
No Tokays ( nasty...don't like 'em )
No Leopard Geckos, Fat tails, or water dragons. (already own them. )

Looking forward to hearing your ideas!
-Zeb
