Harlequin Raspboras or Zebra Danios

[ey2006]

Hope you don't mind me reviving this thread, but I was wanting to get some Harlequins too.

Do they swim mostly at the top or middle parts of the tank? If I already have a large group of zebra and leopard danios in the tank (240L), would their active behaviour stress out the Harlequins?

How many Harlequins is optimal to get so they feel comfortable in a group? Are they hardy fish?

The rasboras are mid to upper level while danios are usually upper. My advice would be to do a species tank of either one. You could probably do 7-8 rasboras or 6 danios, but keep in mind danios are active swimmers and shouldn't be in a small tank with little swimming room, which is why i recommend the species tank.
