    Question Harlequin Rasbora

    I have 3 Harlequin Rasbora's that when I first brought them home seemed happy... they are still healthy and eating good however 2 are always together and when the third one tries to swim with them they nip and chase it away I thought they were peaceful .... Is there a certain number you need the LFS told me 3 would be good.

    They are schooling fish. IMHO, you should have at least 8.

    That LFS advice was terrible. :-( !

    Rasboras are schooling fish and need a group of their own kind to feel comfortable and secure, The more the merrier.

    6 is often suggested as a minimum but personally I am a fan of much larger groups than that as they behave more naturally [Especially when considering their minimal bioload].

    What size tank is this? Other stock? Filtration? All are relevant to how many fish you can add.

    +1 to 850R. Remember Harlaquins are not Characins bur so many of us keep them with characins that it's easy to get them confused.

    Agree you need more. You could have a dozen of them if you wanted. Three is not a school. You simply have a male and a female that doesn't want the third one there.

    Get a couple more cories and up your Rasbora to 10-12 [In batches, Not all at once]

    Keep an eye on your water parameters for a few weeks to insure your BB colony is keeping up. If there are no issues you could add more Rasbora later.

    :Then... Sit back & enjoy :

    Same species would be better. Different species do not hang out together.

    Thanks for the advice my tank is well cycled I have had it up for about 5 years, I used it with a few corys and raised snails for my green spotted puffer. When I no longer had my puffer I kept the corys and some snails. I added the Angel, 2 corys and the Harlequin's about a week ago. My original pepper cory is about 2 or 3 years and quite large but very happy with his new little friends
