Hi, I have a thirty gallon tank with some Tetras, a Gourami, Danios and some lively Clown Loaches. I also have a Boeseman's Rainbowfish with an Australian Rainbowfish, which is going to a friend shortly. I was wondering if getting some more Boeseman's for my other Boeseman, because I heard these are schooling fish. Please give me your opinion! Thank you!

Boesman's Rainbowfish is a schooling fish that needs to be kept in schools of at least 6. However, you have a lot of fish already and the clown loaches get big (about 7 inches). You might want to get a bigger tank first.
- 55 gallon: 6 Cherry Barbs, 5 Diamond Tetra, 1 Pearl Gourami, 1 Bristlenose Pleco, and 1 Upside-Down Catfish.
- Planning to add: 12 Cherry Barbs
-
- 20 gallon: 7 Multi Shell Dwelling Cichlids
-
- 10 gallon: 3 Celestial Pearls Danios (Soon To Be 12) and lots of Cherry Shrimp.
-
- 2.5 gallon: 15-20 Yellow Cherry Shrimp and a variety of Snails.

I have looked at the Ausi Rainbow many times... I have a lot of the same fish in one of my tanks that you have in your tank...
Now this is just my opinion, BUT! you are right in getting rid of your Ausi... tooo aggressive... And when your Loaches get bigger... your going to run into the same problem... They get very territorial when the get older... Or bigger...
Now as for the Bosemans... I have 3 Bosemans and 3 Turquoise Rainbows... Now mine don't really school together even though they are essentially the same... But they are fun to watch as they all (my Bose and Turqs) play together like Forrest and Jenny... They are like Peas and Carrots... 
M.S.B
Confidence is the feeling you have BEFORE you fully understand the situation.
