5 rasboras in a 3g-too much?

[karbomb]

i got 5 Microrasbora erythromicron the other day in hopes that they would get along well with my one CPD. they CPD killed the one darker male i bought but seems to be getting along well with the other paler females and one paler male. i went back to the LFS to replace the one fish i bought and for the first time in two years they got quite a few CPD's in stock.
i was thinking i would buy a school of CPD's for the 10g and transfer the school of rasboras to my 3g, but i am wondering if 5 3/4" fish is to much for the 3g.
any thoughts?

My wife succesfully keeps 10 feeder guppys and a half dozen ghost shrimp in her school 3 gal tank.I would say you are fine.

thanks for the quick reply smaug,
i have driftwood and java moss in there right now i hope if i give them their own tank they may breed!
and i am super excited about the CPD's.

Just remember to change the water probably every 3 -4 days. My friend had a smaller sized tank and it got pretty dirty causing the fish to stress. Also look for signs of the fish stressing out. I think you will be fine because they are small but for 1cm fish needs about a gallon to swim with. Hope I helped.
