Agreed, when a pair becomes active, problems will begin.
 
You will have to remove all the other fish when they pair up because they become EXTREMELY aggressive. You can use a divider. But then there will still be aggression with the other FH's. I don't know but personally I think it's a bad idea. Not trying to bum you out but you will be overstocked.
 
Not to bring you down or anything.. but I don't think it will work.. The Danios would be the first to go.. and the others will fall right behind them..
 
Because you are starting out with such small specimens it should be fine for a while, but you will almost certainly have issues when they get larger and start feeling cramped and crowded.
