What size tank? Balas prefer to be in groups.

ryry123 · Mar 25, 2008

180 gallon tank.

A 180g is good for a couple of adult Oscars... If you want to add red-tailed or other large cat & a pacu, you should probably be looking for a swimming pool sized aquarium.

I would return the pacu and get a couple more bala sharks and a pleco.

sailfin plecos grow quick and big

Try a lima shovelnose, or a tigershovelnose.

Big species of plecos provided you avoid the aggressive ones such as Adonis.
