	Danio Nippiness
johnsmith Enthusiast Posts: 166 Kudos: 144 Votes: 0 Registered: 13-May-2004	Edited by johnsmith How nippy are danios? I have 10 taking up space in a 10g and I'd like to put them in my 90g but I'm worried they'll shred my Diamond Tetras. My Diamond Tetras are the nicest I've seen and I'd hate to see them lose their great fins.

A lot of people here have had problems with them nipping at other fish, though this is exaggerated in smaller groups and in smaller aquariums. It is hit or miss, but you really don't want to miss. Have they been kept with other fish? If so, how did they get along? And when he gets to Heaven, to Saint Peter he will tell: "One more Marine reporting, Sir! I've served my time in Hell."

They even take nips out of one anothers tails. The only fish I have had luck keeping them with, have been cories and four platies - who seem to be able to hold their own with them.
