((I'm not really on-topic for the Brackish board anymore, so I might move any further Danio questions of mine over to Freshwater in a bit...))

Yeah, you're right. A ten gallon is a small enough space that they're still pretty close no matter how far they go! And man! I wish I could have a bigger tank, but the largest we're allowed to have in my dorms is a ten-gallon. I'm technically only supposed to have one, but I'm working on a loop-hole in the rules and will argue my case if they catch me and have a problem with it. >_>;;

Thanks for all your suggestions! I'll likely set the airpump up when I do a water change tonight.

I'm presently down to three Danios, as two more died. When I went to the store for my "refund" I made sure to complain about the block-head who fished the little guys out for me. He was smashing the poor things up against the wall with the net to "pin 'em down" he said, before he could net them. He also was not gentle at all carrying the bag, and shook them a fair bit before I finally made him give the freakin' bag to me. But yes, I complained very firmly about that guy. When I was back at the store, there were three more dead Danios in the tank from which I got my bunch. I'm not terribly optimistic about the three I still have, but hopefully they'll make it and Vinny the fish-killer didn't get to them, too.

The three should be okay by themselves until I can find Danios in a tank that seems to be healthy, right? I know that 5 or 6 is an ideal number, but I haven't seen any aggression from the three since they've been by themselves.
