the only thing that could possibly be a problem is that the danios are a quick swimmer and the betta isnt, might stress the betta. But i dont see any aggression issues

I tried that once, the danios got on the bettas nerves so bad you wouldn't believe it. She eventually chased down and killed each and every one of the danios.
