Bored, confused and replying to my own messages! lmao
But hey, anyhow...
I just read some more about Guppies and Platies and other info online contradicts what I was previously told (eh can't remember where I heard they get along) and with no info just yet here, I am reconsidering my whole list again....
I would personally do sparkling gourami. The pearl is a little big for that tank IMO and also they are slow enough that I have heard they get stressed in the presence of zebras, which move fast and constantly, plus they'd be kind of packed in with the danios. I have danios with mine but they are a species that are smaller and calmer than zebras, at least from what I've seen, also my tank is big enough for the gouramis to get away from the danios. Mainly the size is what would count pearl out for me though. If you did do pearl I'd definitely only do one. The dwarf gouramis I hear are often poor stock so they are not very hardy.
Sparkling Gouramis are very shy & housing them with Danio's might not be a good idea. Danios are like sharks when it comes to feeding time & might be too much competition for them. A single pearl may be fine but they do better in groups, unlike other gouramis that constantly bicker.
Platies get much bigger then Guppies & sometimes will boss them around. I've had this happen several times but if you have enough hiding places it should be fine. I have two large (ones about 5 inches, other is slightly smaller) Redwags that don't mess with my 4 adult guppies but will chase them from time to time whenever I put food in.
What other stock were you considering?

Ahh good point about sparklings, as I don't have them I am not sure how shy they are. I have heard of people's pearls getting upset by ZDs too though, for that very reason.
Hmm, unfortunately my hubbies taken the decision out of my hands, while I was going funny trying to decide he's up n decided we are getting just more Danios etc I have the one lil one he wants us to figure out what it is and just get a heap of those only.... Waaaah!!
Hmm, he thinks they'd be cool just one BIG school zig zagging around the tank! Lmao
They're ok for me but I really wanted a community tank..... :angryfire: Lol
Well, if anything happens to the two Goldfish, which I hope it doesn't he will let me choose what to replace them with hopefully.... But they are pretty fish I just hope I can save them they're having problems atm....
