2 questions....

1. How many giant danios should be kept in a school?

2. Is there any other fast moving fish that would school with giant danios?

The more the merrier and they are an absolute blast to feed and watch. They are always on the move. Also tough as nails.

i keep them in schools of 6-10 ... keep them in a tank for about a month to make sure there are not any problems .. then toss them in the Oscar tank and the Ray tank ... the ones in the oscar tank last about a week per fish .. they get picked off bit by bit ... the ray tank has only had 1 go missing in 6 months ...

I did seven in my 75. They can really add dynamic character to a slow tank.
