More Danios?

[eggy]

55L TANK which has 1 goldfish, 2 platys, 3 zebra danios and 1 baby chinese algea eater which are already in the tank but i found 3 very good lookin' yellow zebra danios, so i want to now if this would be okay to get another 2 or 3.

could the dramatic coluor differences effect their play time (since their always playing thay might not be accepted into the game), who knows danios could be racess!

i personally wouldn't due to the goldfish and the CAE, what temp do you keep the tank at?

 

[eggy]

what's so bad about the goldie? and you never see the CEA cuase he's in with all the plants (it's a very well planted tank, i could post some photos if ya want) the temp is 24 to 27 in summer

its a goldfish, they require 20 gal for the 1st fish, there very very messy

the goldfish is 3 cm. very small

it may be at the minute but it will grow bigger

The Goldfish will grow a lot more and they need a lot of space (many people keep them in unfiltered bowls, often 2 or 3 at a time which is unnacceptable). That aside, the danios aren't racist, their colour won't affect them. If not for the gold fish I'd say put more in.

i was planning to give the goldfish to a friend or something like that when it get's bigger so i might do that now instead.
so then there's 2 platys, 1 CAE and some danios, but how many more danios?

I'd say 6 or maybe 8 as they are schooling fish.
