Will zebra danios and glofish school together as a group despite the appearance differences?
 
I thought they would, but they didn't really. No more than similar tetras sort of school with each other. They were much happier when I removed the zebras and got more glofish, I have 6 in a 10 gallon tank.
 
*glo*fish are the same as danios, beside the fact that they got injected with jellyfish DNA, which makes them have the color and (glow) effect... so really there the same specie, but *glo* fish can breed and produce *glo* fish..
 
It is, but 10 gallons is already too small for them so I didn't want to push it - I just got 3 as rescues and felt bad and got 3 more. I find it ridiculous to pay $5 for these tiny fish, was hoping to save money by getting zebra danios, but they just kept to themselves and there were 3 glofish schools and 3 zebra danio schools. It was not at all what I expected to happen!
