BALA SHARK TANK MATES

                      BALA SHARK TANK MATES:

                                       It is important to know which fish go together when populating your aquarium. If they don’t get along you may end up with fish disappearing over night or fish that stay in hiding all the time and you never get to see them. Bala Sharks fit well into a community of peaceful fish, although they may get aggressive if you don’t care for your bala sharks properly. Some fish that bala sharks get along with include, but are not limited to:

• Angel fish
• Gouramis
• Barbs (including the tinfoil barb)
• Rainbow fish
• Guppies (smaller ones)
• Spiny eels
• Danios
• Tetras (when the balas are full-grown they may eat the small tetras, like the neon tetra)
• Clown loach schools
• Even include oscar but u should watch carefully

reason they will eat smaller fish when they are full grown is because the smaller fish can fit in their mouths. It’s one of those cases where just because you do it doesn’t make it a good idea, but Bala Sharks do it anyways. It’s something to keep in mind.

• Vallisneria
• Sagittarius
• Plastic plants (are better than none at all)
• Red tailed black sharks (very territorial)
• African Cichlids
