Bala shark
Hey all,
I have placed three Bala Sharks in my 75 gal with a needle nose garr, Dinosar eel and Chinese alge eater. Question; does anyone have any idea of how lond these beautifal dudes will live? I am feeding shrimp pellets and flake. Any insight would be appreciated. Dave

Heya!
75 Gallons is 280L yes? I have 2 very large Bala (or Silver) Sharks in my 550L Tank. I would say the bigger the tank, the better, as they are quite active, and grow very large! Mine are about 30cm now, and are only about 2 years old. The Balantiocheilus melanopterus or Bala/Silver shark grows to about 40cm for males, females smaller. Recommended Tank size is 500L. They have been known to live for 10+ years, good jumpers and can be easily spooked and can hurt themselves, even known to knock themselves out! Mine eat: Liver/Pellets/Flake and Cichlid Food. Hope that helps abit? Cheers!
