Bala sharks + Live Food

[votek]

Hi. I have a balashark in one of my tanks, hes only about 5" as it is.

I was just curious at what size doe they usualy get aggressive towards other fish?

Will they eat feeder fish at that point?

thanks.

A bala will never eat feeder fish.
Balas are very timid and will never get even a bit agressive.
Your single bala is most likely stressed out as they are schooling fish and must be kept with another 2 or more balas not knowing your tank size (55G min for now)I wouldent sugest you run out and buy more.
Check the species profile on this site for more about the fish you own.
BTW Everyone I know lost a bala from there jumping out of the tank trick keep it covered if you can get your thumb in the hole it will jump out of it someday.

Bala's are vegetarians, they love parboiled Zucchini.
