would 3 bala sharks be ok for life in a 120 gallon bow fronted planted aquarium

Yeah they would be fine in there, just remember that they get big and their sketchy nature can ruin a planted tank and make smaller tank mates timid and they may hide.

12-14" is average, 18" is possible eitherway DK makes a valid point although full grown specimens will need a far larger aquarium 6'x2'x2' min. At the time this tank was filmed the tank was fine, not sure about now.

Nice jungle tank.

I've had to move all the plants to one side to give them a bigger swimming space. the biggest is around 10 inches now. I saw a 3.5 year old bala once that was 18 inches. he apparently was raised in a 250 gallon tank.

DK, it would take YEARS for a bala shark to grow to that size- and besides, they dont get THAT big... Only 12-14 Inches..

My balashark is 10 inches now and thats in about a year and a half soooo i wouldn't say it takes YEARS with proper care.

[MrBradydog15]

do they grow based on the size of the tank or do they all get that big later in their life

@prowrestlingcarny im in nz and the way we do it here is 1cm of fish for every 1 litre

[prowrestlingcarny]

would 5 silver dollers 1 angel fish and 1 red tail shark be ok in 55 gallon
