If they were legal in California, I'd love to have a shoal of Glofish.

.Don't get too caught up in the genetics issue, they were developed to sus out polluted water in Asia (a good thing). Besides, more fish that you know are genetically altered in some fasion (ie many of the dwarf varieties) only for the market we all support.

I wasn't saying offened, just that it's not uncommon in the 21st century. Black lightbulb from walmart in a cheap fixture and you're set .
If I could, I'd do it in a tall hex (7-8 gals).

I wouldn't put them in anything less than 10g. Danios are very active, fast swimming fish which need some room to do their crazy thing!

Im somewhat in agreement with meegosh, though I wouldn't put them in anything smaller than a 20 long or 29g. I had zebra danios in a 10g, then moved them to a 55g. Man, they zipped from one side of the tank to the other. They definitely deserve more room than most people give them.
As far as colorful for this tank... Hmmm. Tetras in general are pretty active fish. Neons and cardinals are pretty popular fish, though cardinals would be my suggestion over neons. Lemon tetras, harlequin rasboros, maybe some type of platy. Do you have any idea what type of fish, or what color you're looking for?

Just a colorful variety. I was thinking about gouramis, but I've had them in the past, and they seemed really aggressive to me. They do look nice though. I just want a happy community tank where they all get along.

True they are active as can be. I have shoal of the orange dyed danois that zip all over my 37 tall. I just wish we could get the glofish here, but CA treats them like they have 3 heads and spit fire lol.
