I have just lost my 2 female Danios thought they were pregers but now not sure. the males realy tore into them especialy the last one realy beat her up. Had too kill her in the end as her swim bladder had gone and she was bleeding couldnt watch anymore any ideas.

best when a fish is being persicuted to move said fish i know it seems imposible sometimes and often we dont have the tanks to move them too this is why i got one of those breeding nets danios can be ferosiose they dont look too bad but when the lights are off they become little terrorisers. i havent keept them in a long time as i had bad experiences with zebras if there are any of your females still about try and seperate them quick smart ither into a breeding net or inot a seperate tank.

teknikz,
Condolences on your loss. We have large schools (12 +) of zebra danios and giant danios and haven't seen any of that type of aggression.

it is perhaps the ammount of fish you have or perhaps it was conditions they where in all i know is they didnt work from meand i still recomend seperating harassed fish or if its more convinient harassing fish should be seperated.
