I am starting a 40 breeder low tech planted tank and was thinking about doing some CPD's for the bottom level (20 or so) and then doing 30-40 chili rasbora for the mid to upper level. Do these fish get along well? Would this be too many fish?
How many CPD's or Chili rasboras could I do in a 40 breeder if I decided to chose one or the other?
You won't have much problems with them getting along I have three different rasbora together and they don't bother each other. As far CPD's mine swim more in the middle to the top of the tank. They are very shy when 1st purchased but will soon make themselves at home. I think you could easily have over 40 fish in that tank if you wanted to. There both small and will have a very little bio load.
How about the bottom, any plans to add some cory's or otto's.

I plan to add 4-5 ottos. I've had CPD's before and they always stuck to the bottom 1/3 unless feeding. If I stuck with only ottos and Chili Rasboras I think I could get away with 75-100 of them. I am I thinking correctly? Chili rasboras are tiny, I would think I could put a bunch of em in there.
I think you would be ok but your getting close to the maximum load. I think that tank would look really good. I don't know if I would drop them all in at once but maybe do 50 at a time to let your filter catch up with the bio load. Unless you have a heavy load on it right now and are planning to pull fish out.
Hi guys, I'm actually looking for some Chili Rasboras and I'm living in Houston, Texas. Do you know where can I find some of them in my area? I am new to this forum so if I post this in the wrong section please let me know and I'll fix it. Much appreciate
