rasbora school question

[modernhamlet]

I currently have 4 Harlequin rasbora (heteromorpha). Does anyone know of any problem I could have putting them in a tank with 4 rasbora espeii? It seems like a silly question, but I'd like to be sure...

From what I read, they are both peaceful fish so they should be compatible.

MH, my guess would be that they would be fine. Aren't the harlequins wonderful?

Absolutely no trouble whatsoever.

Great, guys! Thanks. I guess I was mostly concerned with cross-breeding. Not that that is likely in a community tank, but it can't hurt to ask.

Yes they are, alaska! They school wonderfully. And you should see them go after microworms!

But a warning... make sure you get good stock. Because Harlequins are such a "stock" breed in the industry, I think there may be some pretty weak strains being sold out there. Make sure you get healthy ones from a trusted source. That was a hard lesson learned.
