i have a ten gallon tank, 2 dwarf gouramis, 1 otto and 6 longfin zebra danios. I have noticed the smallest zebras fins look like they have been nipped on they do somimes chase eachother but i didn't think zebras would do that.
 
Hello :)
It's pretty crowded in there, and crowding can lead to nipping and agression. Danios can and do nip each other, it could also be your gouramis; they're slow, territorial fish, and the speedy danios might be driving them nuts with all that activity. The only sure way to tell who's biting who is to watch them for a while and catch someone in the act.
 
I agree... you're a bit crowded... but danios nip/chase each other, that's just the way they are. Keep an eye out, as Blinky suggests, to see who is actually doing the nipping.

ps ~ cool name!!!
