I recently put a pleco in with spike in my 10 gallon. Don't worry it's a bristlenose. I plan on putting him in my 30 gallon when it is cycled. Anyway I just rescued 5 zebra danios from someone who was going to flush them (I can't believe anyone would do that!) anyway I put them in with the other two in the 10 gallon. They are tiny probablly not even an inch. Spike doesn't seem to care wether they are there or not but I don't want any of them to suffer because they are overstocked. I know I have to keep an eye on the ammonia levels and such and do frequent water changes. However some of you know I am obsessed with that anyway so that won't be a problem.
Thanks Guys!

It is overstocked, but daily water changes and cleaning the substrata often will help. The sooner they go in the other tank, the better though. You don't want a chemical spike - quick way to get fin rot in a Betta.. so definitely be using Prime as the water conditioner too.

Just be careful that the danios do not go after the fins of Spike. They can be nippers. As soon as the other tank is ready, I would be moving them.
