Bala Shark

[NTidd]

I've got an aquarium with 3 iridescent sharks, and 4 bala sharks, anyone have any ideas of what else would work well in the tank?  I was wondering if tiger barbs would work, or maybe silver dollars.  Thanks.

How big is your tank? Its probably too small anyways since balas can grow around 12". The same goes for silver dollars. Best to check out the fish profiles and research some fish.

I've got these fish in a 105 gallon tank atm.  Once they outgrow that I will upgrade the tank.

105G? Sweet! Tiger barbs are fine but get least 6 or better more! They are schooling fish!  *thumbsupsmiley*

Hmm, I got 5 silver dollars in there now too, they are doing good.

Watch out, people on this board like to tear into bala owners.  I'm glad you have a large tank to cut off the attacks *thumbsupsmiley*

Nuff said now dc!  *crazysmiley* *crazysmiley*
But true enough. Of course most people that ask about balas have 20G tanks and the bala is 2". At least NTidd has a big tank and willing to upgrade.
