We have 3 leopard danios and 3 zebra danios. I'm still trying to sex them but I have a feeling they are all female. Is this bad?
 
look at my website for breeding and sexing.
if you have all females or male come to that,
don't worry, they will be fine.
 
I think The-Wolf is pretty close to as expert as you can get on danios around here. But I would check again. Yes, it is possible that you got all girls, but unlikey:

(0.5)^6 = 0.015625 = 1.5% chance you have all girls. Not likely, but certainly possible.
 
The PH of the tank they were spawned in affects the sex ratio of fry; mabye the tank your danios were bred in had a very high or low PH. It's also possible that your danios aren't mature yet. Usually the only way you can sex most fish is by fatness - female egg scattering fish are invariably fatter than males.
