No. The dario dario I have kept are extremely shy, very picky and slow eaters, and pretty defenseless. I wouldn't recommend it, even in a large tank (75 gal) with lots and lots of plants. Setup the two species separately and I think you will get more enjoyment out of both of them.

I chucked a couple of male Dario dario(that had murdered their females) into a raising tank with 25-30 forktail blue eyes (ravenous by any measure)and I was surprised that they have done well.I agree they look fabulous in a dark well planted tank but I think they are tougher than we might imagine
