Just in case you do not know. Silver Sharks (Balantiocheilos melanopterus) are not sharks at all, they only bare a slight resemblance to the sharks of the oceans. They are not very demanding as far as pH and dGH are concerned, so they are relatively easy to keep water wise. They are not aggressive fish but they do get quite large though. They are around 15 inches when they are fully grown and prefer to be kept in groups. Because of their size a minimum sized tank for these fish would have to be around 6 feet long. The Zebra Danio (Brachydanio rerio) only grows to a maximum of 1.5 inches and will co-exist with most other peacfull fish. There should not be any major problems caused by putting these two species together. All that is needed is a properly set up six foot aquarium.

What kind of freshwater fish does walmart sell?

Each Wal Mart will vary in stock a bit, but in general they all have goldfish, bettas, and plecostomous. Most will also have some sort of guppy, zebra danios, tetras (I've seen mostly neon tetras in particular), and many carry GloFish (zebra danios that have been modified to fluoresce). Wal Marts will typically have some live plants and snails or ghost shrimp for sale as well.
