One giant danio would be quite the motivational wanderer in there, and they typically seem to do well alone.
How to spread fish around?

The idea is to put plants and safe spots around the outsides, and then they will be more encouraged to swim in the middle. Works every time.

that sounds like a good answer
as for more fish, there are currently 15 glowlights, 12 lemons, 12 bleeding hearts, and 4 (soon to be 15) blues.
joining them soon are 15 cardinals, 12 diamonds, 15-20 corys, and 12 kerri tetras

what's your lighting like? they could be hanging in the corners because it is darker there . . . (?)
I recently set up my 55.. .atm I have a spawning pair of Angels & 5 flame tetras. The tetras try to hang in the corners but the Angels dont let them. They dont harrass them, just chase em away. I noti ed lateley the tetras were more in the middle...tonight the angels spawned so that explains it. If rescaping doesnt work, maybe you could add something like an angel. From what Ive read they shoal quickly all over to confuse larger fish....maybe they need motivation? Or you could increase it to 24 of each species to make it closer to a school than a shoal.

rather strong. however, i have left it off recently to see if they relax enough to spread out.

the problem is i want them to spread out and not have a care in the world. I used to have 30 zebra danios, and when they were relaxed, they would chill by themselves in their own areas of the tank. Only when stressed would they bunch up. having something chase them isn't too relaxing

Mine dont really hang out together....they usually swim apart without a care in the world. I think the 2 Angels keep them active, but not stressed/ nervous per se.....if that makes any sense. They actually swim up to the Angels constantly and they all sleep w the Angels. But again my setups very new.

Forgot to add.....mine tend to hang out in the plants. Maybe they dont feel safe wo plants? Mine hung out on the bottom corners for the first days after I got them & started gradually venturing out more day by day
