schooling bala sharks

[mfj]

one of my 3 bala sharks found a gap in my canopy and jumped to his death. would u suggest that i get another one since they are a schooling species? space is not really an issue.

How big is you tank? How long have you had it running? Tell us about your tank so we can help.

Thanks

125 gallon tank. it's been running about 3 weeks, but i downloaded an established 10 gallon tank into this tank, so it may be more mature than a 3 week old tank. i am trying to keep peaceful community fish in this tank. i used to have oscars and got tired of them fighting all of the time. the balas are about 3 inches long.

Your the first person I have ever known to keep balas in an apropriate sized tank =)

I would get another Bala.

I currently have one Bala in my 130g w/ some other sharks and he needs some Bala buddies quite badly. I'll probably get one more Bala this weekend and another once my tank has had some time to stabilize.
