Pygmy Corydoras Or Harlequin Rasboras?

[DP1981]

My tank is currently cycling, but hopefully won't be too long so I've been thinking about what to put with my Betta that I'll be getting

I can't decide between Harlequins or Pygmys?

My tank is the Arc 35l

What would you have?

I would go with 4-5 Pygmy cories.

Definitely the cories. Add the cories first and then the betta.

IMO cories are tons nicer

Cory are your best bet.

I had a Betta with mine for ages (he passed on) He used to chase them out of the cave from time to time if he got bored but never in ernest. All Betta are different but, as suggested, if they are already in the tank before him he will be more likely to leave them be.
