Hey there and Welcome! Im new here too, but not new to the hobby at all. I think youll find this to be a great community, and the folks here are wonderful, and very friendly and helpful! Im definately glad I found this place and plan on sticking around for a long time!
What size tank do you have? If you have room, I would add about 4 more of the Danio's, since they thrive in schools. You can see what I got so far, in my sig. Welcome and ENJOY!!!!

Keeping fish is a great, fun hobby, but it does take work, lol. Also you have to learn about the different types of fish and what can and cannot go together. We are all here to help you with any questions you may have.10 gal tropical tank (mainly snails w/7 fish), 5 rats, 4 parakeets, 1 senegal parrot, 2 degus, 1 snake, 1 blue tongue skink, 3 mice, 1 rabbit, 1 ferret, 5 cats, 1 dog
