danio

[b.c.f.c]

ive got a zebera danio in my 3 week old tank and a few other fish but he seems to be chasing my cardinals(mind my spelling if ive spelt it wrong).i first got 11 cardinals but only payed for 10 lol and now ive only got 5 could it be the zebera danio killing them?should i get him some other zeberas or just get rid of him?or maybe its not him at all.any info would be great thx.

If you have only had your tank set up 3 weeks in'ts probably still cycling and this is why you are losing the fish, can you post test results in ammonia,nitrite,nitrate,and ph, also danio should be with some more of it's kind at least 5 more.

well i went for a water test on saturday and they said every thing is fine also i did have another 3 danios but lost them. im prepared to get some more danios if neccersary tomorrow but prefer not to as there not a favourite of mine.

Also how big is your tank? If your tank is too small there will normally be 1 very aggressive danio that will take out all the fish until it's the only 1 left. You need at least a 20 gallon for danios.

That's quick for a tank to cycle in three weeks, how big is the tank.

Sounds like you have added far to many fish to soon, as your filter wouldn't have coped with all them fish, get water tested tell them to write the readings down for you, do a water change for now and the rainbow shark needs a big tank.
