Rather confusing. You say swordtails should be kept in 100L+, yet I read in other places that they can live in 50L+, mine live in a 76L long, and while they have plenty of room, the females are mostly bickering whenever they meet.

Danios can be kept in most long tanks, starting at 20gal (90 litres-ish?) long tanks and up. Giant danios would defo need a larger volume of water but still a long tank rather than a high one. These fish need space to swim horizontally, since they're river/stream fish in the wild and are suited to swimming upstream in fast currents.

This thread is a good idea but will never be complete and/or always have discrepancies and flaws in the info.
