Bala Shark
The Bala Shark is an eye-catching and active freshwater fish, renowned for its sleek, silver body and distinctive black-tipped fins. Native to Southeast Asia, this species is a favorite among aquarists for its impressive size, lively swimming patterns, and peaceful temperament. Growing up to 13 inches, the Bala Shark thrives in spacious aquariums of at least 70 gallons, where it has plenty of room to swim freely. These social fish do best in schools of three or more, displaying natural group behavior. With their calm nature, they can peacefully coexist with a wide range of other community fish, making them perfect for large, well-maintained freshwater tanks. As omnivores, Bala Sharks should be fed high-quality flakes or pellets, along with occasional live or frozen foods like bloodworms and brine shrimp. A diet of fresh vegetables and algae-based foods will also support their overall health. Known for their graceful swimming, Bala Sharks bring both energy and elegance to any aquarium.
