Harlequins are rasboras, not guppies. They're small, peaceful, and great for community tanks. You should look 'em up.

What's a harlequin? Never heard of 'em. Are they like guppies or something?
Nah, they're totally different. Harlequins are rasboras, way more chill than guppies. They're like the zen masters of the fish world.

Just to add, harlequins are also great for planted tanks. They don't mess with plants and their colors pop against green foliage. What's your substrate?

Agreed. They're perfect for planted setups. I've got mine with a dark substrate and it really makes their colors stand out.

If you're adding harlequins, make sure your tank's cycled well. They're hardy but still need stable water. What's your ammonia level?
