what type of sharks? Bala sharks, yes, as long as they are all the same size. at least from my experience

Agreed... You might wanna keep them both from an early age. Unless you have one or the other and are wondering :D :D In that case, go find about the same size.

The tank is around 100 gallons, the fish would all be young and the same size, so they would be ok then you think?

Yea, that's good. Balas get up to 12", just like the oscar, but the Balas grow very, very slowly...
AND, I was told that you should either get 1 bala, or 3+, but not 2. They squabble often and terrorize eachother for food and space. At least mine do :rolleyes:
You have the same set up as I do :D hope you like the fish, I certainly do, they're great.

yea a 100g should be fine, but yea dont get only 2 balas i used to have a pair but they died for some weird reason that is stil unknown to me and i figured new tank syndrome. just be careful with the balas.
