bala shark

I recently moved homes and not long after replaced my gravel with sand (mainly because vacuuming a 150L tank with gravel was a pain in the butt). 4 days ago I noticed that 1 of my bala sharks stopped eating. He got skinny and just chilled by the filter a lot. I ain't no pro but I decided to...

Thank you! Sorry! need advice. We had two Bala Sharks for approximately a year. Both gorgeous and lively and healthy. Yesterday we did a water exchange of approximately half our tank (75 gallon tank). We were gone for a couple hours and when we came home one Bala was upside down on bottom of...

Hello everyone,   In my community tank I have a bala shark with what I believe to be an injury on its nose. Other family members state it was not there two days ago. The injury is about 2mm wide. If I had to describe it, I would call it a burst blister. Opinions sought and much appreciated.  ...

Yesterday I finally managed to rehome my 8 inch Bala shark. I was very sad to see him go, but he's going on to a 6foot tank with the possibility of moving to a 12ft after that, so I'm sure he'll be much happier there than in my little 3 foot tank Funny, even though I wasn't his original...
