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.

New fishies are always fun!

I just adopted some zebras too! they're already playing tag through the tank.

^_^

yeah, mine are playing with shoal of three barbs i have

ha, hopefully my tank wont end up like West side story

i can just see the Barbs as the "sharks" and the danios as the "jets"

haha, personification is always fun

Welcome to FP!
New fish are always something to get excited about!
The danios & barbs prefer to be in a school of 6 or more if you can manage it without overstocking your tank. Hopefully they are in a tank larger than a 10g. as they like to chase & swim a lot.

I've heard that some tiger barbs will harass or kill ghost shrimp, so you will just have to wait & see. Anyway, I wish you luck with what sounds like a new tank. Be sure & take advantage of this site with all it's past posts. You can look up anything you want in the past posts on each forum, or make the searching easier by going to "search" & typing in anything you want to know about, such as "stocking" or "stocking 20 gallon", etc.. Good luck!
