	Strange acting zebra danios
fishnewbie Big Fish Posts: 349 Kudos: 619 Votes: 319 Registered: 01-Apr-2004	Okay, Today I got a BN pleco. About an hour after adding it to my 90 gallon tank, my 8 zebra danios started actively shoaling! They are doing this right now in a pretty tight group. They are in like the middle of the tank, towards the top. Before adding the pleco, they were ALWAYS seperated from one another, all over the tank. It looks pretty cool but is this normal behavior? I've never seen them do this before.

They're probably just feeling threatened by the new addition, that's all. They will calm down after a while, or continue to school. Either way, I wouldn't worry about it.

Little fish like them feel sooo much better and heaps less stressed when they get together like that. If you only had one or two danios, they would probably die from the stress.
