Answer
Ok well if you want to get a bala shark here is what you will need to keep and maintain a bala shark tank. A heater rated for your size tank, an 80 gallon tank, gravel, a filter rated for your size tank, tropical fish food, light/hood, plants decor., and the fish. For a tankmate i would suggest just getting two bala sharks because fish seem to do better in pairs. An 80 gallon tank can hold the bala sharks for their entire life so you won't have to worry about bigger tanks. If you can't have that big of a tank you could just get one bala and a 55 gallon tank. I hope everything goes well.
