I have seen this mentioned few times on reddit or other forums, but never how it ended, if it worked out well. Just that people are considering it or have trouble feeding dry food.
I have my clown killifish for just two months now, so ofcourse I am not looking to add anything right now, but eventually. They are already breeding, I spotted few supertiny fry on the surface during the maintenance.
Tank dimensions are 56 cm x 25 cm x 36 cm and tank is unheated. pH will be around 7, water is soft. I feed the clown killifish paramecium, microworms, hatched bbs, frozen cyclops, sometimes first bite just as a precaution for the fry.

I was thinking, once I see some juvenile join the parents, that maybe a trio of scarlet badis or dario sp like black tiger may not be a totally bad choice. I expect the darios dont hunt on the surface and the clown killifish might or might not hunt the badis fry. I just wonder if the feeding will work or if I will have to overfeed for the darios to actually get some food (that may be problematic ofcourse).
Looking for opinions, as always. Thank you

Forgot to mention I have three pairs of clown killifish at this moment. I assume I cant really go more than 10 fish in the levels, as the territory squabbles might be too much then
