luvmykrib Fish Addict Posts: 585 Kudos: 256 Votes: 27 Registered: 08-Nov-2005   | What else do you have with them? They look really nice in bigger schools! We had 10 in our 25g and every morning my son would turn on the light and say "There they go off to school!" Then when he got home from school he'd say, "Hey, they're still in school!" I thought it was so cute. Now we're down to two, they're cycling the 10g, then when they go back to the 25 I'll fill out the school again.

chelaine Big Fish Posts: 383 Kudos: 343 Votes: 78 Registered: 23-Jul-2005 | I would up the number to 6 or so, on the zebra danios, or even mix and match with some leopard danios. they all should school together. they even have long-finned variety that look nice too. *Chelle* I love the fishes cuz they're SOOO delicious... |
