One schooling danio in hospital tank alone?

[thursyanna]

I have one zebra danio not doing well in my 55 gal. There are only 2 other fish, both danios, in there. I put my sick fish in my hospital tank so I can keep an eye on him for a couple of days. Do you think he'll be OK by himself? I know they don't like to be alone but I didn't want to make my other danios sick too.

He will be fine for a week or so

Good. i was worried he'd die just from being alone.

 

[Scottyhorse]

Nah, but it would help if he could see the others

He's not too far from my big tank but I don't know how good his eyesight is! LOL!! I need to go to my lfs today so I might pick him up a couple of friends. Then I can move them together to the big tank. I've got to go pick up some bloodworms for them anyway.

Bloodworms will make him feel better

Hey, I figure it's like me and ice cream! Ice cream can cure anything!!
