Zebras have to be numbered among the "classic" aquarium fish. If you have aquariums very long, odds are that at some point you'll try a school of zebras. Years ago when I first saw them they were all the same variety - silvery bodies with dark stripes from head to tail. These days you can find very attractive varieties that have veiled tails, spotted "leopards", blue colored, and even albino varieties. But I have to admit, I'm still hooked on the plain old original zebras. Few fish can add more movement to your tank than these active little dynamos.

Virtually any peaceful community fish is suitable as a tankmate for zebras,and that DOES NOT INCLUDES the Oscar as mm rightly said.

Because they naturally live in schools, it's wise to keep at least a half dozen of them together. They will readily school with other varieties of danios, and other similarly sized schooling fish such as the white cloud mountain minnow. I've had mixed schools of two dozen or more danios and white clouds, and they do very well.

You are mixing all the wrong fish. Oscars will eat anything they can catch. Tetras (zebra fish) should not really be with any other fish that has flowing fins, like angels or bettas, unless the angels are much larger. Tetras are schooling fish and should be with other tetras. Secondly, you should have a cover over your tank to prevent the tetras from jumping out - it also decreases evaporation.

Zebra danios are normally quite peaceful, mild mannered little fish. They will do much better when kept in a school of 6 or more though as they may pester other fish if not kept that way. As for them mixing with an oscar, only as food for the oscar.

Too bad you didn't catch that leap of faith on tape. Too bad about your fish.
