I want to get a bigger tank for my balas i have 2 but i also want about 6 bleeding heart tetras and im also thinking about 6-10 rummy nose what size gallons should i be looking for?

Bala sharks need a tank that is at least four feet long. They grow up to like 17 inches or so :O

Balas need huge tanks. They are a schooling fish and need to be kept that way. I would say at least 200 gallons.

You should increase the bala school to a min of six as well. They are schooling fish.

i have a 20g im just getting into this fish world and winged it but i need a bigger one fast i was thinkin a 80-100g

It would probably be best to get rid of the fish.

 

[Chuck_T]

they're only about 2-3 inches right now

They're already too big for the 20g. If you keep them in there they will be stunted. They need a much larger tank even when small.
