Hengel's Rasboras

[Lizzie71]

I unfortunately lost 4 of my 6 hengel's rasboras this week after a power cut

The remaining 2 appear healthy and happy but I'm worried that they might be lonely. Do you think I should get some more?

Tank is 34 litres. Current fish are

3 platys, plus 2 fry who are destined for the lfs shortly
2 ottos (was 3 but one has disappeared off the face of the earth)
2 hengel's rasboras

I like the rasboras, they are cute little fish. But if I got more, would it be OK to get a different species, for example harlequins?

They prefer to be in groups of 6+ as they are a shoaling fish. They will mix with harlequins but still like to be in groups of their own kind as well.

I'm getting some at the weekend actually
