im gonna attempt to put either zebra danios or giant danios (depends on what i can find) in a tank with a silver arowana, pbass, oscar, bichir and a red eared slider. will it work? has anyone tried this before?
 
They won't last long, mate. But why would you try putting some dithers when your stock are predatory?
 
cus i just think it would be tight having a bunch a lil fish swimming around my monsters

aite... i can live without dithers
Use good sized fatheads from a bait shop instead of Danios....you'll like the look and when they become a snack, your pocketbook won't be hit hard ..depending upon the size of your fish you can also mix in some silver dollars....

i know hoe u feel bro. i as well tried it a couple of times.. from neonz to danioz and barbz...
the danioz last the longest lol
 
you can do it the trick is have lots of tight low hiding spots and lots of replacement danios on hand I kept a breeding tank for danios and always kept my pred tank with a half dozen or more just add as nessary makes for a nice tank
