not sure if they mix but cherry barbs seem to work for me - in fact, if the books didn't say so, i could swear they were livebearers the way they've been breeding in my community tank for the last few months
main thing is to provide plenty of hiding places like plants in clusters (a combo of silk & plastic plants work great for this) either off to the sides or in the back corners to make it diffcult for the adults to get to the hiding fry - and don't forget to tie a mesh pouch or a mesh net with incredibly small pores to the intake tube to keep the babies from being sucked into the filters - like mine like to - i found 6 babies in my xp3 canister filters during a routine sponge rinse in my bucket yesterday - they were a lil pale but fine
based on what the others have replied tho, add more of the zebra danios and stick to an all species tank for better results if it's danios you have your heart set on.
good luck!
