Hey everyone, My 2 zebra danios are not eating!! I don't have any reason why either. The other fish in the tank seem fine and are eating, they include 2 fancy guppies and 2 otto's. Does anyone have any ideas why the danios stopped eating? I feed them flake food.

Water Params:

0 ammonia
.10 PPM nitrite
7.4 pH
76 degrees F

Please let me know if you have any idea why they won't eat!!

they probably have effects from the cycle that isnt complete or went into a mini cycle ....if you can , get some prime, stress coat + or ammo lock and do DAILY 50% water changes until the cycle completes....what test kit do you use and what are your nitrate readings?

they could also be stressed without the full school, danios really prefer schools of at least 6 to feel secure

ive had a single danio(before I knew about a proper cycle) that was a huge pig!! although I do agree they are much better in a school, I think the nitrites and the tank not being cycled is playing a tougher effect on them
