Balla Sharks

Question
Hey Richard

I have 1 bala shark and 2 suckers in a 30 gallon tank , I was wondering if  i added  3 more balas to the tank would they accept that 1 bala into the group ?


Answer
Hi Deo

Bala Sharks are schoolers and would do fine in a group of 4. They are not territorial and would accept any addition to the group. However, a 30 gallon is too small for 4 Bala Sharks. They are very energetic and require lots of free swimming room. A 60 gallon would be recommended to keep 4 of them.

Hope this helps, good luck!

Richard
