Compatible fish for Aquarium

Stocking your aquarium

Find compatible fish. These should be happy to co-exist together.
One fish should not become the meal of another (it would become a rather expensive meal).

Bettas go well with harlequin rasboras.
Zebra danios go well with harlequin rasbora, black skirt tetras.

Try not to combine long fin fish with faster fish or fin nippers. Most of the fin damage occurs in the night when the lights are turned off. The fins regenerate but this takes time.

Here are 2 pictures with harlequin rasboras in the aquarium. They are very peaceful active fish. A must have for any aquarium.

Schooling Fish:
Fish which are of the schooling type like the tetras/rasboras etc need to be kept in shoals of 6 at the minimum. This reduces the stress level on the fish and they are happy. Also a group of fish swimming together makes for an attractive sight.
