[QUOTE="PRINTS, post: 1540223, member: 141072"] I am not sure about the coloration. If the fish are just zebra or leopard danios, they ought to get along. I think Giant Danios are a bit more aggressive, so maybe that is the problem. In regards to the fish wh have dye in them, I don't know how that affects them. It is strange, but I have seen how fish do know who they should swim with. They do seem to pick the colors out that match them and the breeds, of course. But, I remember that zebras and leopards seem to get along, anyway since they all swim in a similar "style", although I think the zebras might swim a little quicker. In that case, maybe the zebra wants the others to swim faster, or he is annoying the leopards in his fast swim games. For more questions, you might consider asking a good aquarium supply store - one who knows their stuff. [/QUOTE]
