Scarlet Badis (Dario dario) with Celestial Pearl Danios?

i found it to be a challenge keeping Darios fed in a community tank. Even the little neon tetras would outcompete them. CPDs are pretty timid though, and so small, so maybe it would be a good combination.
What will you feed them?
 
I take a razor blade and shave thin layers off of a frozen mysis shrimp cube or frozen bloodworm cube. I've had some success with flakes/freeze-dried, but they like the frozen better. It's really tempting to set up a separate dario tnak, but I'm 14 and the parents are 'maxed-out' with fish tanks :(

do what I'm doing, I'm planning on stacking tanks, mine only care about the space they take up as long as I pay for everything.

Mine put a limit on 2, and I managed to wiggle my way into 4. I'm trying to get them to let me switch out the 4g for a 20 long, hopefully after xmas.
 
I have 2 dario currently in my 29g with some CPD, endlers, and RCS and they are doing great, they even look slightly plump. To be quite honest im not entirely sure that they eat the food i put in there, i use micro pellet food and everything else eats it. They are in a pretty established tank and i commonly see the 2 dario picking at the driftwood and large marimo moss ball, they are very good at eating the little critters that grow in an established tank...seems to be their favorite food. I bet microworms would work good for them

yeah I'm hoping to be able to upgrade my 10 into a bigger tank and then divide it for different tanks while technically being one tank.

Ok, so do they eat the infusoria? I had a bunch of nematodes, but the CPD's got rid of them quickly.

:1zhelp:
 
give them plenty of cover and i think you'll be ok. CPD's make good dither fish as well, so they might help.
Mine are a lot less hidey than I thought. Mine are domesticated though, so that might be why. Now I've just gotta find out where I can get them.
