Other large, aggressive cichlids and fish such as Pacus and Jack Dempseys. Size and temperaments should be kept closely the same. Odd number of fish generally do better to help displace aggression. Tank should also be large enough to house these fish properly with enough territories. When adding new fish to an aggressive tank, feed tank fish first before releasing new fish. Also, turning aquarium lights off for the release also helps. The first few seconds of the fish entering the tank and swimming downward that are the most crucial.

What fish are Danios compatible with?
It's easier to say they are good community fish that are compatible with most normal tropical fish.
