What Will Go Well With...

I went to my LFS and I bought 3 Long Blue Finned Danios about 2-3 weeks ago. They are healthy looking and I was thinking that I should get some more fish.

My Tank is a 20 Gallon Tank with a AquaClear 20 gal filter. Not many plants although I am getting some plastic ones today.

I was wondering if I should get a couple more LBFDanios or if I should get something else.

If the fish are cories, how to i feed them food without the Danios stealing them?

In my tank currently, there are only 3 Long Blue Finned Danios

What else is in the tank? Just those Danios? If so, you have room for a bit more. I'd go with three more Danios. They like to school. On top of that you can add some Cories, but they like to be in groups. I would recommend Pygmy Cories, or you could go with Panada Cories, which do not get as large as some of their other cousins. This would work out well with Danios being on the surface and Cories on the bottom. Cories can be fed with sinking food, like algae wafers and shrimp pellets. If you have a problem with other fish eating the food on the bottom too, wait until lights out. Wait five minutes after turning off the lights and put the sinking food into the tank. The Cories work more off of smell than sight and the other fish won't beat them to the food in the dark. If you do get Cories, provide shade for them as they are nocturnal and will want to hide away from the sun during the day.

I would suggest also a few more Long Fin Blue Danios as those guys like to be in groups. I have a few different danio's myself.

Panda Cories can be quite sensitive to their water perameters. Perhaps maybe the bronze cories or peppered cories would be better as they are quite hardy.

Panda Cories stay an inch smaller than the ones you mentioned. They're not hard to care for at all as I have eight of them in my tank currently. Keeping up with water changes is all that is necessary, which is what you should be doing for any of your fish. The correct pH and temperature is less important than a stable pH and temperature (within normal bounds of course).
