Silver Sharks, or Bala Sharks

My Silver Sharks or Bala Sharks. They're now between 6 to 8 inches long at four years old, and can reach around 18 inches depending on the water quality and tank size.

I can't even open the lid on mt tank without at least one of the Balas trying to jump out! Even my dog sits wagging her tail as I lift the tank lid, waiting for a silver wriggling 'toy' to come flying out! But seriously, I think that they're getting too big to handle now and I'm thinking of taking them back to the store so that they might go in a massive display tank. They are really beautiful fish, but boy, can they fly!!! Thanks for the comment, by the way.

Thanks for the comment, they've grown even more now, and I have to be so careful they don't jump out when I do the part water change. Seriously, they can jump almost to the ceiling...Flying fish without the wings! One did manage to jump out a few months ago and almost ended up as wriggling dog food. She had her mouth wide open and just about to chomp, but I managed to pull her away and put the fish back in the tank! Thankfully, no injuries. Maybe some sharks for next birthday!
