Well I don't know exactly how many, but I have 5 and they don't school- just play with each other, so you'll probably need about 7 or something. And I'm pretty sure you'll be able to mix the different types of danios.

Shoaling fish shoal as a defense mechanism. If there is no threat in the tank shoaling fish tend to break their shoal. However having more fish in a group will bring the tendancy to shoal up shoals of 12 upwards look best. Different variations of a species will occansionally shoal together but its one of those things that you cant make happen, just wait and see.

i have 9 zebra danios and they school fairly often. More-so than when i had 6, thats for sure.
