I Need Some Anwsers About My Bala Sharks

[Jade789]

Okay, so I have two Bala sharks in a large tank(Not sure how big) The sharks are still young I think.

There're tank mates are, 2 swordtails(One male+one female, the other female died a few days ago) 1 bleeding hart tetra, 1 rummy nose tetra, 3 white mollies, 3 black mollies(2 males+1 female) A dalmation molly(female) and 2 yellowy black mollies(Males) oh and one darrios, Also 2 livebearers.

One of my sharks(I gathered its a female) Is very very ill, I keep thinking she' dead but her gills are still going, and with a nudge she moves for a short amount of time. Her nose seems to have grown and extra part also, like a lake fishs would if it was on a fishing rod, abit like a hover.
She als gave birth to 10-15 babys this morning, I have 7 in a floating tank box but I didnt want to disturb the tank anymore getting the others.
She became ill after spotting the babies.

Any help would be great! and are all my fish conpatible?

Sorry to hear you're having problems

Can you give us; the measuremnts of your tank; how long it's been set up, what kind of filter you have, how often you do water changes and how much. Do you have any test results of your water you can post?
The bala shark can't have given birth to the fry as they are egg layers; the swordtails and mollies are livebearers too; it'll be one of them or your other 'livebearers' that has given birth.

As an emergency measure, do some waterchanges with warm, dechlorinated water; that's always the first thing to do if you have sick fish.

The swordtails and mollies are compatible, the tetras need to be in shoals, but are otherwise ok; the bala sharks also need to be in a shoal, but need a very large tank; they can grow to 14" in lenghth. I'd need to know what the other 'livebearers' are before I can know whether they're suitable for your tank or not!
