I have never seen clown Killies, but I have 1 Aplocheilus Linneatus, Golden Wonder. It is semi aggressive. I do have a pair of Indian Glassfish with it, but it leaves them alone. I cannot speak as to compatibility with Rasboras, I have never kept them.
from what I have read they are a small, peaceful species that only get about 2" long. I probably could add a pair of them, but I just want to get the opinions of the folks here before I go through with it.
I had two, one did not survive quarantine (unknown why) the other is thriving i my 46, quite colorful I might add and I have yet to witness do anything but keep to himself. Going on two months.I hear they only live a year though.
they seem to be fine in a group of four, and even school quite tightly. i've considered it, but I want variety.
I bought 4 clown killi's but only one survived. Two died after the first two days, and I thought the other two would do good. The one who stayed mostly at the top is growing good (he probably got a lot of food), while the other one that was never at the top died.
I have rasboras, and I have tetras in the tank with the killi, and yes, it works well. I've read that they grow to 1.5" and they don't bother any of the other fish. Get them, you'll love them. They are very beautiful.

They aren't the easiest killies to keep. I'd try a couple of other species first. And make sure they have plenty of floating cover and a well-covered tank.
