I've gradually been using 4 danios to get a new Malawi cichlid tank started.
it's about ready to add the a couple of cichlids now (baby auratus) and I've
managed to get 2 of the danios out and back into a community tank but I just
CAN'T catch the other two. The little blighters just dash into the cichlid
caves. Is there any chance of them surviving if I leave them with the
cichlids?



It's not very likely that the Malawi cichlids will be able to catch a
danio so just leave them in the tank. Auratus aren't predatory so they
probably won't even notice the danios.

Zero chance especially if you stop feeding them for a few days.

when the auratus get larger
they will prob kill the danios
just the way melanochromis are sometimes
