Conflicting info out there..Anyone here tried to house them together?.
Thinking about them for future tank mates.

I wouldn't. Danios are sort of manic and while female bettas do have moments of speedy going, I don't really think they appreciate the zippyness of the danios.

Opinions on this will vary, I'm sure.

Hello, I agree with Jaylin. Danios are very fast moving and Betta are very slow moving. Danios will get all the food and Bettas could suffer. Also Danios need a much larger space because of their speed and movement. On the other hand Betta need just a very little space.
Good luck in your choice.

Personally, I wouldn't house slow-moving fish with fast-moving ones. But that's just me. :)
