Late Parties
Zebra danios are real party animals. They love to dart around, chase each other, and have fun riding the current from the filter. Tetras and mollies, by comparison, are quite calm. Tetras hang out in the shadows near the bottom of the tank until feeding time. Mollies tend to float around mid-tank level, occasionally grouping up to hang out. When we had molly fry, though, they actually took on the behavior of the tetras. I don't know if that's normal or not, but it made our one remaining tetra happy.
But occasionally the danios would influence the adult mollies. We'd catch them hanging out with the danios, dashing around and playing and generally partying with the wild ones. I always wondered if the kids ever noticed.
