What would be good tankmates for Zebra Danios?

Umm...to get better answers, it would really help to know what fish you currently have, how many of each type you have, and how big your tank is as well.

I have 5 zebra danios in a ten gallon.

Zebra danios should be in at least a 20 gallon due to their activity levels. In the space you have now, with those 5 fish already there, you would only realy have room for a few more small fish. Maybe get a trio of platies (1 male, 2 females) OR 3-4 (male) guppies. To be honest, I wouldn't add anything else unless you plan to move the danios out to a more suitable tank (in which case pretty much any fish that can't eat them would be fine).

evofish - your 'sucking loach' (aka golden algae eater/chinese algae eater) may be ok up to now but I guarantee that it will eventualy become aggressive. Plus, considering their potential size (to 10"), these fish would eat the zebra danios and would not be suitable for a 10 gallon (though I appreciate you could not have known the tank's size when you posted).

Do I have to wait a few weeks to get the other fish?

 

[afireinside]

it depends, how fast do you want them? if u got them more than 2 weeks ago, you should be ok.

 

[ScoutCarcer]
