Pearl Danio Chasing Other Fish

[Jessica's mum]

Hi
We now have 2 Pearl Danoi's, 2 zebra danios and 2 black molly's in a 96l tank.
One of the pearl danios has started chasing the other danios whenever they are close. The zebra danios have now taken to hiding in plants and behind rocks. What should we do?
Thanks Kath

HI. Not a lot!! its pretty much what they do!!

I agree with newtotropical, that's the nature of Danios. And it seems adding more doesn't calm them down, it just makes things more hectic in the tank. Danios drive me insane...far too much activity.

Lol, that's just a danio for ya.
I have 3 danios right now and one of them constantly chases the other danios along with the guppies if she feels like it.
They shouldn't nip or anything, they'll just chase.

You can try adding 2 or 3 more danios. With a little bit bigger group, the chasing will get more dispersed.
