Hiya once again! Have quick question for someone more knowledgable than myself. I really want to get some Harlequin Rasboras but i'm not sure if my tankmates are suitable for them. The main thing I am weary of are my 2 dwarf gouramis. My tank is:

20 Long
2 Dwarf Gouramis
4 Zebra Danios
2 Arched Corys
3 Live plants

Just didn't know of the gouramis would pick on them or if they were fast enough not to worry about them.

THANKS!

Chris :D

The gouramis should be ok with the harlequins.

The danios, being zippy, may stress the gouramis a bit, but it looks like a nice assortment overall.

I'd go for a small school with the harlequins, maybe a half dozen.

Sure thing... i have my LFS ordering some for me. The ones they had were really really small should have them in a few days.

Just got my Rasboras today! They fit in really nice in my tank and they seem to be very happy. The Gouramis completely ignore them for the most part so no worries there. Glad i waited to get the bigger ones though, they are awesome. Thanks for the advise.
