Just make sure you've got a bunch of hiding spots. you'll be able to tell who the dominant male is in time. You'll be better off if you had a smaller tank to seperate the female to once they breed. Better success then

Otherwise, a few suggestions from the peanut gallery. Blue Tetras! Beautiful once they get on a good diet and settle in, but active like danios, they will also school. Check For Picture http://www.azgardens.com/images/Tetra-Blue-School.gif Pygmy Rasbora! They also are gorgeous! They don't get very big so you could have many of them. This photo does not do them justice, they are a lot more red/pink! http://www.azgardens.com/images/Rasbora-Maculatus.gif Both fish would look wonderful in a dark coloured tank.

Make sure you'll have some hiding places & you'll enjoy them. http://uk.pg.photos.yahoo.com/ph/s8xi5heh/my_photos http://www.geocities.com/s8xi5heh/classic_blue.html http://groups.yahoo.com/group/buzaqq/ http://www.flickr.com/photos/corydoras/ Member of the Malta Aquarist Society - 1970. http://www.maltaaquarist.com
