Can I have 3 Boesemani Rainbowfish with Harlequin Rasboras in a 46 gallon tank? Are they peacfull

Hey, I really need some help, I have a 16 gallon fish tank, it’s got 4 male guppies, 1 female betta and 1 male betta. I had 6 females, but I moved them all into my 55 gallon tank since I found out one was a male, and they got kinda stressed in my tank, but one female in my 55 gallon tank was really low, and I ran out out fish food so I was feeding like frozen food, anyway I moved her into my 16 gallon because she had no color at all, and today when I got in from school, she’s all torn up. But the strange thing is, she has stripes going up on her body, she has a huge white spot on her belly and the stripes are really dark!! She’s all torn up, so I put her in a breeder trap, I go to check her and she’s gone?? I see her back with the male, and they were dancing with each other. I knew they was mating because I did research before I got the females a couple months ago, they dance for a couple seconds, then he chases her away and bites her. He’s still making a bubble nest and it’s huge! What should I do? Should I separate her again or leave them be? Also, I will make a video if anyone wants to see what their doing. Also, I have no live food, so will I be able to feed them crushed flakes once they are able to eat foods, I also have no filters apart from a home made sponge filter, and I only have a 4 gallon long tank, a 5 gallon tank and a normal 4 gallon. I have one spare heater, but no extra live plants or air pumps! Also, I know a lot betta breeding, so I don’t need any tips really. Just need help what I should do now!

Thank you!

Thanks!

They’ve started rapping around each other more now, but he still chases her off in a couple of seconds, you can’t see clearly in the video that the female has large stripes
I’ve looked at breeding ones, all those females are torn up. But I think the tank is too heavily planted so she’s swimming away. The other females take it, I put her in the breeder trap for now until he stops making a bubble nest. Will try again soon, and she’s not as torn up as some of the females I’ve just seen on youtube. Will the babies be able to live in 4-5gallon tanks for a while? + I can’t really take out the other tank mates because the female will get picked on since she’s all nipped now, and the guppies will be eaten. So I’ll need to divide up the tank some how.

I have a 40 gallon tank. I’m wondering what tropical fish go good together so there is no fighting. I would like bigger fish but I’m thinking of starting small first.

I’ve just bought a heater for my 50 gallon tank and i would like to know some fish that would fit in I have an 2 american flag fish 5 zebra danios
and 2 shrimp. Would be nice if it was not a carnivore, colorful and not huge(Angel or puffer fish would be good). I would appreciate it even more if you gave me a website so i could look them up aswell. THANKYOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Not TOO small aka neons cardinals ect
Somthing that will grow atleast 4 cm

We’re just pretending here:

You just bought a new 55 gallon tank with a heater, filter and decorations… answer these questions as you like:

- What theme would the tank be? (if any)
- What fish and how many would you have?
- What kind of 55 gallon tank would you have? (wave, bowfront, rectangle, corner etc)
- Why did you buy this 55 gallon tank?
- Would it be freshwater, saltwater or brackish (tropical is considered freshwater)
- What color gravel (or sand) would you have in it?
- What is your favorite part about your new tank?

You can answer this question too, if you actually have a 55 gallon tank:

- About how much have you spent on your tank? (tank stand, deco, fish, testing kits etc… EVERYTHING! Take a ballpark estimate)

- What fish and how many, do you currently have in there and WHY? (The why is optional)

- What got you interested in getting your tank? (was it a present, hobby etc?)

- Do you breed fish in it? If so, what breed?

- Is keeping your tank UTD easy or hard? 1-10 (1 being easy, 10 being difficult)

- Is your aquarium a freshwater, saltwater or brackish water fish tank?

- What is the best thing about your fish tank? (or what you like the most)

- What is the thing you least enjoy about having your fish tank? (cost, up-keep etc)

- If you had to TOTALLY re-stock your tank… What fish and how many would your tank be stocked with now? (can’t be the same set-up as your current one though) – this one’s optional but I encourage answering it?
