no, it has a pair of dwarf cichilids and bottom dwellers, other than that there would be no other fish. And I checked and I don't think the rasboras are sold to me small enough to be eaten
Well.... I have a cichlid, think it's an electric yellow. I tried to put it in my community tank. One of my Harlequin rasboras got curious and came really close to it. The cichlid made a half hearted attempt to eat it, opened it's mouth more then wide enough to swallow it whole. Fortuantly it was as a said half hearted and the rasboras swam away, however if it had been in a corner with no place to swim too I'm certain it would have been gone.
So while I wouldn't expect the cichlid to chase the rasboras down to eat.. if they become careless they could easily wind up as lunch.
By "dwarf rasbora" do you mean the species Boraras maculatus? Or are you referring to one of the common rasbora such as Harlequin Rasbora, Lambchop Rasbora or Hengels Rasbora?
The true Dwarf Rasbora is much too small for most cichlids, especially kribs (I'm assuming these are the pair you have?). The other mentioned rasbora species will probably survive until the kribs spawn, then likely not. Or they will be severely stressed in such a small space--small to them when kribs are spawning.
I do mean the mactulats or however it's spelled, how about ember tetras, other then kribs their wouldn't be a thing for them to harras, or nannostumus marginitas, or trifiascitias
