My wife's Minnows have tried to nip at the Guppies a few times but the Guppies gang up on them and see them off

Hi

A lot depends on the size of the tank. White clouds have been kept with bettas successfully, but you will need a back up plan

Copper harlequin rasboras are fairly peaceful, and are slightly smaller than normal harlequins.

The tank is 60 litrs think thats about 15 US gallons?

I did have 5 minnows but as my Shubunkin got bigger he ate 3 of them over the course of 2 months and there is only 2 minnows left now they just look so lonely in tank all alone

So approx 13 UK gallons. Is the Shubunkin still in there? If not, and there is plenty of plants, the minnows should be ok but nothings certain.
