The Bala Shark is active and beautiful, adding a lot of movement to the tank. I kept three together and they swim in a school, which is very pleasing to watch. The fish are easy to feed and stay healthy with a mix of flakes and freeze-dried food.

I was initially worried about aggression, but the Bala Sharks are quite calm and don’t bother other fish. They enjoy the plants and driftwood, and I’ve noticed they’re more active during the day.

Great addition to my community tank. The metallic silver color stands out, and they seem to enjoy the varied diet. I feed them flakes and bloodworms twice a day, and they stay lively and healthy.
