Hi


Danios should be kept in groups of 6+ the fewer there are the more nippy they will be.

yep, definitely shoals. And they are active swimmers, as well, so they need plenty of space.

60 litres is roughly 15 US Gallons, which is small for any danio shoal. You should consider upgrading your tank to a larger size, or consider another small fish that does better in trios.
