HI,
My local LPS had a sale on those large danio, and I bought a dozen at 3 for dollar and allowed them to acclimate with large african cihclids, the trick is feed the africans to the point they are full and release the school they will move as one fish and the africans seem to leave them alone. Its little bit of luck too.

here's a pic I borrowed to show you how they school
