As you have one tank set up already can I assume you know how to cycle a tank? Personally I think Danios will be to fast for the Betta they prefer a quiet tank. When I had the Betta in my 45lt tank I had Cardinal Tetras they get along extremely well. Cardinals will cost you more but they are worth the extra money as they are always a healthy and stronger fish. I also had Khuli Loaches they are excellent food cleaners they can get into spots no other fish can *Have a look in [link=My Profile] http://www.fishprofiles.com/forums/member.aspx?id=1935[/link] for my tank info* Look here for my Betta 11Gal Desktop & Placidity 5ft Community Tank Photos Keith Near enough is not good enough, therefore good enough is not near enough, and only your best will do. I VOTE DO YOU if not WHY NOT? VOTE NOW VOTE NOW

Kieths probably right about them being to fast for the betta though. Google Orange glofish and see if you recognize the pictures. Hope that helped! The true test of character is not how much we know how to do, but how we behave when we dont know what to do.

I've heard of glolite danios before, and apparently there are not dyed or GM, but I can't find the species anywhere, so perhaps it was a misunderstanding For animals, the entire universe has been neatly divided into things to (a) mate with, (b) eat, (c) run away from, and (d) rocks. - Terry Pratchett

Callatya, you're thinking Danio choprai. They are one of the most beautiful danios IMO, although Danio margaritatus is my favorite for now. -------------------------------------------- The aquarist is one who must learn the ways of the biologist, the chemist, and the veterinarian.

If so, they're no different from regular zebra danios as far as behaviour, they just look different. We just started carrying them at the store I work at, they're pretty cool little guys. They come in orange, green, and red (although I think it looks much more pink). Even better if you can get some type of black light over them.
