what do u feed them? i think mine are shy to get floating pellets...but eats when it pass near them...can they eat cucumber? respond pls

@aljondavid

i feed them all kinds of food but mostly flake, to help with shyness try buying some upper active fish like goldern barbs they stick around the top which makes the sharks more relaxed to join them (really works).

thanks

Correct

[redo7706]

do you think two bala sharks can be put in a 40 gallon?

[siy1982]

@redo7706 your tank might be a bit small, if I could start again id get smaller types of fish.. balasharks are a very attractive fish but not really the best to keep long term, need lots of space and are not very friendly (swim away from you (good with other fish))..

Do bala sharks get more familer with thier owner as they mature. I have 6 of them in a good size tank and they scatter when im anywhere near the tank. I also have an african cichlid tank and an angelfish tank and the fish in both tanks swim right up to me wanting food. I actually hand feed my large angelfish like its a baby. But the Balas and I have 3 IDs and a clown loach in the same tank. They all scatter when I feed them or walk near the tank

[siy1982]

@bostonred915 not really.. my balas still swim into the glass at the other end of the tank to avoid me, while the other fish come to the top to be feed..

[TheSkubz]

and if i send you my email can you show me how to make the co2 kit?

[atvking04032]

55 gallon to small i feel like it would be ... i love the bala and want one but rather have it in a bigger tank that some one els owns if it not the right size ... want whats best for the fish

[atvking04032]

@siy1982 tank to small then if they doing that

[cgreene1234]

@TheSpiderkill - Thin one with black stripe is either a flying fox or siames algae eater. The long one is a baraccuda (they love to eat neon tetras)

@aljondavid Balas absolutely eat cucumbers! Stop by my channel and look through my posted videos... you will see plenty of videos that show my Balas eating cucumber. you might also enjoy trying my cucumber feeding method for them as well! If you do drop by my channel enjoy, lots to see there!

[XyloN4Min]

[XyloN4Min]

@siy1982 im gonna get one or two of em if they have in the local store around me. But i get small ones for my 47 gallon tank. Its good? they can survive??

Nice Balas! I have two, not quite that large yet (around the size of your smaller one maybe slightly larger). Mine are kept in a nice 75 gallon community tank, with several different freshwater species. Stop by and see some of my posted vids (I post all the time). I have some interesting items available for viewing, with more on the way all the time, Again, nice Balas, very healthy looking fish!
