I love harlies! Classic good looks & almost always a great choice! How many did you get?

Rasbora hets are my favorite small non tetra fish . Full grown ones are very pretty .

Plus they are immortalized on the cover of your favorite aquarium book, stamped in 14k gold.

Six are almost (a lil over one inch I think) fully grown, and one is very small and young. They like to school but will also do their own scavenging in the tank.

That's one of the best species in the hobby. They are very beautiful if they ever lay eggs in your tank - they glow.

Yes. They were a favorite of WTI's as well.

I always had a group in my big community tanks. I'd kept them, almost without a break, (the species - not the individual specimens...), for 30+ years. Great looking, undemanding, peaceful.

My suggestion is that you get more Harlies. They are one of the nicer inexpensive fish, I have them in two tanks. If you like them you might also want to investigate Trigonostigma espei aka Lambchop Rasbora

I've only kept T. espei once, but they were coppery pretty in a slightly smaller size than harlequins, Both are great!

That’s the plan the creek don’t rise. I just got these, so I need to wait a few weeks to make sure the billed is A ok before adding more. By the end of things there should be 10-12
