Zebra Danios usually chase and kill other fish due to inappropriate water conditions, including elevated toxins, low pH, and inadequate temperature. However, Danios may also attack their tankmates to establish a hierarchy or when the tank is overcrowded and features too few females.

How do I know if my Danios are happy?

Generally speaking, following are some of the ways you can tell if your fish are happy.

1. They swim back and forth freely and energetically around the tank.
2. Quite like humans, happy fish might have a vibrant glow to their skin.
3. They do not appear fearful of the other fish in the tank.
4. They are breathing normally.

How many Danios should be kept together?

Why are my Danios swimming at the top of the tank?
