Danio Schools?

[Martymcfly]

I am looking to add some danios to my 55 gallon tank (which currently holds 9 tetras, 1 barb, 1 molly and 1 leopard catfish). I want zebra danios, yellow and leopard ones. If I get 2 of each kind will they all school together or do they only school with others the same color? I was planning on getting 6 total.

Yes - you'll be fine with those three. The Gold is just a colour form of the Zebra - the Leopard used to be classified as a different species but I think is now thought to be the same as the Zebras.

I have Zebras and Gold Zebras with Pearl Danios and they all swim about together - although they are more interested in active chasing of their own kind. The gold and normal zebras interact more with each other than with the pearls.

Great website Wolf, most informative.
I have just started with 6 pearl danios (my first danios) and am looking to add another variety of danio, so your website had proved very helpful indeed.
