Question
do you think lyretail guppies would get along with harlequin rasboras?and would other guppies attack the lyretail because of its odd tail?
thanks

Answer
Mallory,
There is always a risk of fish not getting along. Just make sure the fish you put in are not bigger than the the Rasbora. They are a peaceful fish as well as the guppy but the guppy can be a bit aggressive. Just remember the Rasbora is a schooling fish and will not do good if you only have 1 or 2. I think if you put in at least 6 the guppy should leave them alone.
