harlequinns may work, Dwarf gouramis however can't really be classed as Dithers?

You want 5-6 of a quick shoaling species

You want something that won't feel threatening to the parents. It is best to avoid fish that are grossly active like zebras or that swim anywhere near the tank bottom like cories. Kribs are bottom breeders and will not tolerate other fish near the bottom. Lots of the bottom dwellers just don't understand, when the kribs drive them off, that they must not return.

my tank size is 100 litres so harlequins will work, 6 of em?

 

[JohnRossDele]

what about 8 cardinal tetras & 6 H.rasboras

 

[Ben M]

i use cardinals, rummy nosed tetras, harlequins, cherry barbs and serpaes.
