we found a baby zebra danio in the moss ball 1 gallon unfiltered bowl. An egg must have ridden in with the moss clippings and the baby survived off of bio film (I guess 'cause I wasn't feeding it!) At first we were not sure what kind of fish it was as it appeared to only have one iridescent stripe and was very small. Eventually we started feeding it super crushed flake and moved it to the shrimp tank when it got bigger. It is now about half the size of a neon tetra, obviously a zebra danio (stripes and body shape and all) and very zippy. My question is, since it has no tank mates (the shrimp and snails don't count) and is a schooling fish, what is the earliest I should put it in with the main school? which is a:

20 gallon community tank with:
9 zebra danios
5 neon tetras
2 molly
1 female beta
2 false jullie cory cats

I want him to be happy (be with a school), and also not get eaten. S/he has been a very fun surprise. :popcorn:
