contents In this paper, we prove the stability threshold of $α\leq \frac13$ for 2D Boussinesq equations around the Couette flow in $\mathbb{T}\times \mathbb{R}$ with Richardson number $γ^2>\frac14$ and different viscosity $ν$ and thermal diffusivity $μ$. More precisely, if $\|v_{in}-(y,0)\|_{H^{s+1/2}}+ \|ρ_{in}+γ^2 y-1\|_{H^{s+1/2}}\leq c(\min\{ν,μ\})^{1/3}$, $\frac{ν+μ}{2γ\sqrt{νμ} }< 2-\varepsilon$, $s>3/2$, then the asymptotic stability holds. This stability threshold is consistent with the optimal stability threshold for the 2D Navier-Stokes equations in Sobolev space. And in the sense of inviscid damping effect, the regularity assumption of the initial data should be sharp.
