Pink Zebra Danios killing other fish?

[rajivzee]

Couple of days gone after adding 6 pink zebra danios 1 of the danios died next days & day after 3 of my rummy nose tetra & 1 neon tetra died.
I like the danios but seems I need to return them.

My tanks size is 100 ltr

I had few native zebra fishes.They use to chase my neons.The are fast, so can be a problem for other fishes.

They were quite active that's why I bought them... but I don't know if this was the cause or any other issue.
As later today 1 danios & 2 more neon died.....I've returned the remaining 4 danios I hope this solves the problem. Fingers crossed

Zebra danios are boisterous fish. They usually chase around most similar sized fish. And since they're always active, it tires out other fish. In a large group, zebra danios out-compete most small fish for food.

Also, a small note not to promote the coloured, dyed fish! Go for the regular coloured danios or even leopard danios, they're great.

Thanks Karthik,
I guess they're genetically engineered and not dyed.

My experience with them has been very subtle n peaceful. I had them with my shrimp, so they don't look an issue to me.

May be they carry some disease, but after removing no more casualty.
