Hello all, this is a quick question. I have a newly cycled (via sponge filter from a friend) 55 gallon aquarium. I dropped the filter in today and went to my local Petco to get some fish. Our local one is actually pretty good, and my usual haunt is a good 45 minutes away. The idea was to simply get a handful of fish to keep the bacteria fed.
Anyway, my plan was to get 6 Harlequin Rasboras to start with. I eventually am planning a school of 20 to 25 of these guys, but today I could only get 4. That is what I want to ask about. Will 4 Harlies be okay for just over a week together? I can't make the trek out to the LFS this weekend (**** wedding) and who knows if Petco will get in anymore (the people working there were unsure). We have a PetsMart in town too, but it's a fishy mass grave every time I go in there.
What do you all recommend?
