Danios

Most fish like tetras and danios will hang out with fish that aren't the same but similar. It isn't the best thing but they will "school" for protection. It will probably be safe to get a different type of danio, though I find a larger school of the same fish looks a little more exciting. But that's just my opinion.
Also most fish once in a tank without any preditors, after awhile will not form tight school, just loose associtations. That doesn't mean they still don't want the company, but don't be surprised when they don't constantly hang out together.

i had 4 pearl danios, and 2 zebras. when i first got the fish i only had the 2 zebras, and it was so funny because one of the littler ones used to follow my mollies around. i swear he thought he was one. all the other danios(when i added the rest) just hung out up top and chased each other. but that one little guy always went to the bottom with everyone else. but most danios will stick together, from what i noticed about all the rest.
Pretty much all of the smaller tetra, danio type fish can easily survie and thrive with a once a day feeding of various flake foods, As much as they can get down in a minute or so. I also randomly don't feed one day a week. This makes my fish stay lean and mean (not really mean) and they are quite colourful and active. Also the more food that goes in the more that comes out and the more the waste builds up and the more water changes I have to do. Less feeding means less work for me.
Betta bites are okay for a treat, but I would use a good quality flake food as their main food as the betta food is formulated for a higher protein content.
