white clouds and zebra danios

[erc2995]

was just wondering if anyone has any experiance mixing similar danio species i currently have 3 zebra danios and 2 glofigh (colored zebra danios) and they school together and if they were all the same i was wondering if i put 2 white clouds in with them if they would all school together? it would probably look real cool too but i can only do 2 clouds thats all i have stocking room for

Glofish are genetically modified zebra danios, they're still the same fish hence the shoaling. However I don't think white clouds would shoal with your danios, they tend to be a bit more laid back and mid to bottom dwelling than danios which generally race around the top. There are plenty of different danios on the market (leopard danios for example, which again are basically the same as zebra danios with a marking mutation) which will shoal with them.

How big is your aquarium? Usually it's really similar fish that school together (i.e., danios & glofish, neons & cardinals, or color morphs of the same species)
I doubt that WCMM would school with danios. Try some other danios- silver, leopard, longfin, glowlight danio...

I have leopard danios and WCMMs in my 46gal bowfront coldwater community. None of my fish in that tank "school," per say, but the WCMMs definitely keep to themselves and the danios definitely keep to themselves. I have six of each in the tank.

I have kept zebras and white clouds in the same tank many times and have not observed them running together.

I hope the zebra danios and white clouds do well together, im hoping my wcmms and the zebras eat tropical flake food...*GOLDFISH*

my white clouds always stay to the top layer and believe they're typically known as top/middle swimmers
