can these fish go in a 10 gallon?

just wondering if 2 zebra danios are good fish to have in a ten gallon tank. do they like to be in larger groups? if yes, how many can i put in a ten gallon? i would only assume a max of three, but to me thats pushing it.

    They like to be in schools, 2 zebra danios would be almost empty in a ten gallon. here are some cool stocking ideas that would fit in a ten gallon.

    IDEA 1

    5 zebra danios

    4 panda cory cats

    IDEA 2

    10 zebra danios

    IDEA 3

    5 zebra danios

    1 male guppy

    1 female guppy

    IDEA 4

    5 zebra danios

    5 glo fish (they are not actually dyed, they are geneticly motified).

    Elizabeth is right, they're way too active to keep in a 10 gallon tank, especially since they need to be in a school. You could have a small school of neon tetras in a 10 gallon. If you like the look of the zebra danios better you should check out black neons, they might be more your taste.

    Zebra danios are schooling fish and should be kept in groups of six minimum.

    Because of how active they are, I would not keep them in a ten gallon.
