Are Zebra Danios fin-nippers, will they nip the fins of other fish?

Danios may have small bouts of fin-nipping with any long-finned tank mates but this should not be too serious. Pearl Danios have a very small mouth, so any damage will be fairly limited and is unlikely to persist. Fancy goldfish do make suitable tank mates, however as a precaution it is not generally recommended that they are kept with slow-swimming long-finned tankmates. 

You will find the Zebra Danio in India, Bangladesh, Pakistan, Myanmar, Nepal and across southern Asia. Over the years Danios have been traditionally one of the most popular tropical fish kept by hobbyists.
