Bala Sharks

[demonmagus]

would 2-3 FULL GROWN bala sharks be happy in a juwel 400, if so I may build the tank around them.

 

[WILDER]

They really need a 125gal tank.

They get to about 14" and are very active, I'm not sure how big that is in gallons but I'd say a 6ft tank minimum, tbh.

You need a very big tank and their shouling fish (i think )

i was gonna put 3 in a 100 gallons is that enough room??

 

[WILDER]

Yes not bad.

 

[demonmagus]

if 3 in 100 gallons is alright shouldn't 3 in a 115 gallon?

 

[cane76]

a juwel 400 isnt 115 gallons issit?

 

[demonmagus]

Im sure it is or it is around 100 gallons

 

[Fishy412]

Im sure it is or it is around 100 gallons

should be around 105 so close enough. as long as they dont grow to abnormally monstrous you should be OK with 3 balas in a 105

As important as the size is length, they are very skittish and love to charge up and down the tank, therefore 6 foot in length is the minimum

I personally would never keep them in less than a 6x2x2 as my 6 make use of all the space in mine, and I may well upgrade it once they all strat passing the 10" mark.

Remember this ifhs is a fast swimmer, not entirely dissimilar to Danios in needs.

 

[demonmagus]

anyone recommend any other shark that could go in that tank, as I said, I may build the tank around it/them but would prefer not too much aggression.

 

[cane76]

juwel 400=90 gallons just out of interest

You won't get too much aggression from a RTBS in the right conditions (...probably )
