They live in around 75-85 degree temperatures
silver/bala sharks get on well with most fish and are great in a community tank .
to the size of the tank or bigger AF
Bala sharks grow into large fish. The basic rules are. :- 1 inch of fish needs at least 1 gallon of water (a single Bala shark needs at least 20 gallons. 2 need around 40+gallons). Every tank needs a permanently running cycled filter. Every tank needs to have at least 50% of its water changed every week. Different species of fish need different temperatures (Bala sharks need around 75F) and different pH and specialised foods if required (Bala sharks are omnivorous). If you supply your fish with the above they should survive reasonably well. If you fail to supply what is required to keep your fish healthy I can guarantee that your fish will never be healthy and they will be a source of constant worry.
in a tank as big as it. you'll need to check up that on google or someplace like that for the open the oacen AF
NO. The rainbow Sharks can grow in a normal tank.
Bala sharks are non-aggressive. I have had several of them, and they have never tried to attack or harm the other fish in the tank.
I am hoping to get the following: - 3 bala sharks - 2 koi angel - 1 leopard-spotted plecostemus
It depends on how big your tank is. If you have a large tank, clown loaches, red-tail sharks and bala sharks are cool (maybe some sort of catfish, just not a real cat, they don't like to swim). You could do a cichlid tank (note that they only get along with other cichlids and fish that can stand up for themselves. If you have a smaller tank, try some barbs or tetras.
There is no sexual dimorphism in Bala sharks (Balantiocheilos melanopterus) so the only way to sex one without cutting it open is to watch them breeding. The female is always the one that lays the eggs. These fish get very big and a minimum sized tank for them is around 6ft.
No betta fish are really aggressive I tried putting two little ones and they fighted so one died
no, you need saltly water and hard rocks.
Possibly. It depends. A bala shark is a calm community fish, while a betta is a fighter. Most people say that bettas will fight any fish, as some do fight other fish, but rarely do they do that.Bettas can basically live with any fish but themselves. Most bettas are calm, but some can be aggressive and should live in their own tank/bowl. Bala sharks will do no harm to the fish whatsoever. So, the answer depends on your bettas personality
