How many Bala's in a 120 gallon?

[9tails]

Ooh! 120 gallons! *swoon* If only my living room was big enough....

My neighbour has a couple of balas in with zebra danios, I thought the bala sharks might eat the danios but they've lived together in harmony for years. I love the slurping noise the balas make when they eat the floating flake.

Dean ~ I agree, but in a 120, there is plenty of room for hiding spaces/territories... if I had a 120 I would design it so I could keep 2 males in there -- lots of tall plants etc...

I asked the same question

Dean ~ I remember that post, and remember silently responding to you that it can be done.... lol. My uncle kept 2 males in a 75 gallon. Though he had one of the heaviest planted tanks I've ever seen. Tons of plants that reached the surface, and a little corner of the tank was like a tall cave...

I have a 150gal that I've always wanted to get setup and put 6 balas and 6 clown loaches in it. That would be a great grouping I think
