Zebra Danios Fighting?

[rmanpf]

my two new zebra danios are cycling in my ten gallon tank and i realised that the bigger one is chasing and nipping the smaller one when the smaller one goes near the bigger one. Is that normal? Next week i am getting two more, will they stop then? Help

it's normal, just dominance among the hierarchy. you should eventually add a few more so the dominance pecking is dispearsed rather than concentrated. also, provide plants and hiding places

i have 4 zebra danio's and they all get on fine swimming and enjoying the water with the rest of the fish. i found them to be quite good with mixing with my other fish.
