the absolute min for TB's is 6, but IME the more is really much better.
as for harliquin rasboras a group of 5 will be ok

 

[One_Trick_Pony]

how many could i fit to give me half decent amount of each

 

[Mr Miagi]

Its a 25g so id stick with 6 TB's and maybe 8-10 harliquins. Plant it up real nice, and get some other bottum dwellers and you well on your way to a beaut tank!

keeping on the theme go for botias as bottom dwellers.

I'd agree with Wolf, I have Botia Dario (Bengal Loaches) 3 of them in a 10 Gallon (UK) they are active and love to get into the substrate and hunt for food.

They stay fairly small ie 2-2.5", love snails (which is why they are in my tank) they show no aggression to any of my fish, including the corys, who they share the bottom with.

They like to be in their group and they like places to hide, so give em plently of cover.

And to keep inline with your regional specifications, they originate from Bangladesh .

[The-Wolf]

IAE, SAE, CAE or flying foxes will do the job and are all from the far east.
