Thanks all!!! They are getting along all right I did ask a question on here about their compatibility and got yes they are okay with each other. I never seen fish school. When I go to the LFS (won't be soon) I will get a zebra danio just to give them another friend.

If you want a schooling fish, I have 7 black skirt tetras, and they school a lot. They're not as active as the danios, and like to hang out right in the middle of the tank.
I have 4 platies with my glofish/zebra danios and they do great together. As far as the Danio's schooling my don't really school but they act like they are on crack chasing each other. Think I got lucky I have 5 females and 1 male because of there size. I have neon tetras and they seem to school but one will break off for a little while them rejoin them.
Glofish and zebra danio are the same species the glofish are just colored by science. The zebra fits right in I got one of each color of the glofish and added the zebra to make a school. Purple, green, yellow, blue, and red.
