They do reach about 5- 6" as adults. As with any fish, anything that will fit in their mouths will be considered food...
Mine are only about 3.5 inches as yet but don't bother espei & harlequin rasboras. IME CPDs are shy with larger fish present, I don't think it's be a good combo if you want to see the smaller fish.
I have both fish- but not in the same tank. The torpedo barbs are very active and would scare/stress the cpds for sure. I cant even keep big cardinal tetras with them- the cards were so freaked they hid in the plants all the time.
I would recommend not housing the two together. Your CPD's might not get eaten, but you would rarely see them.
I did forget that cpd's are fairly shy. That's good advice to not put the two together. Thanks everyone! And, I do know that they're not sharks and are cyprinids

My roseline rasboras!!!! Which come from India, in the fast flowing streams, do well with very very small fish. I had a school of cardinal tetras and pygmy cories the whole time with them. I also had a male betta and gold nugget pleco with them. They like chewing on plant material and will eat a lot!! I had mine for 3 years and they grew to about 7" head to tail. They swim horizontally all the time and like to jump. I had one die from jumping into the glass top when it was spooked. I got rid of them because they would swim constantly side to side and it was very annoying!! They looked awesome though.
