Here is a couple pics, one of my 10 gallon that has my 2 Harlequin rasboras. I know that I really need to get a background, working on that as we speak. Water is a little "tea-ish" from the driftwood. Any feedback would be great! 
My 10 Gallon and Harlequins

I just got this pair a few days ago, so I'm only adding a couple at a time, but I do plan on getting a few more. I love these little guys, the have such a big personality for such a little fish.
Agree with Gerber... Harlequins are a schooling fish and feel all stressed and jumpy if they're more isolated like this. They should be kept in a minimum of six.
Your tank looks beautiful. Nice job.

Nice tank.
Maybe some shrimps? That is if you can get more plants for them to hide just in case the harlies pick them.

I just had a second look at the pics. Boy!!! For harlies, your fish look so slender. They look like Trigonostigma espei to me. No gold bar along the flanks which T. hengeli does have.
I thought they were slender, too, but being new to the hobby, I just thought it was because they seemed young. Investigating the Trigonostigma espei, they seem to be slender like them, but black marking is more prominent on my little guys. Any more thoughts would be great. Thanks
I looked around some online and I know there are probably more rasboras than that, didn't see anything between the two. But is it possible my two are a hybrid? Or is that not really how it works..
Like I said, I'm totally new to this, but now you all really got me interested in what they could be..
