Balantiocheilus Melanopterus
|
| Length: |
13.0" |
| Sex: |
Females have a fuller belly. |
| Feeding: |
Will eat a wide range of foods, live and flake food. |
| Social Behaviour: |
Peaceful, active schooling fish that should be kept with other of the same type. |
|
|
| Up Keep: |
Needs plenty of swimming space and should be kept in a tank no smaller than 75 gallons when full grown. |
| Breeding: |
Very difficult, and will probably not occur in an tank smaller than 75 gallons. |
| Comments: |
This is a peaceful active schooling fish that needs plenty
of swimming space and a covered tank because they are
jumpers. Shy but a fun fish to watch. They can get to be
over a foot long so anyone who is going to have Bala Sharks
should plan to have a 75 gallon or larger aquarium. |
