Tetras Vs Mosquito Rasbora Compatibility

[Sharnae02]

I currently have a 25L Tank of 7 tetras (neon, glow light and silver tip) and a 50L tank with 2 neon dwarf gouramis and 5 very small mosquito rasboras and a few bottom dwellers. 1; will i be overloading if i combine all in the 50L tank, and 2; will the tetras be aggressive/eat my rasbora's? TIA

-a lady at the fish shop told me my neons would be fine but the silver tips would most likely eat the rasboras, i didn't ask about the glow lights.

I would not keep the rasbora's with the silver tips. Silver tips can be quite nippy and could really give the nano fish a lot of trouble if not kill them. Glowlight tetras and neons would probably be okay but honestly I don't like keeping nano fish with anything other than other nano fish. Often nano fish become very shy and are easily out competed for food when housed with larger fish.
