Will eat a wide range of foods, live and flake food. |

Peaceful, active schooling fish that should be kept with other of the same type. |

Needs plenty of swimming space and should be kept in a tank no smaller than 75 gallons when full grown. |

Very difficult, and will probably not occure 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. |
