Harlequins are easier to breed than cardinal or black neon tetras.

Just set up a 2ft tank with some broad leaf plants in, (Swordplants are ideal). Have a filter and heater and introduce a group of them. Feed them and do regular water changes and wait.
If you don't want to wait then separate males and females for about 5 days. Then put them in the tank together in the evening. The following morning they should breed. Males are usually smaller and slimmer than females.

edited to add they do best in soft slightly acid water.
