Silver Bala Shark

Balanteocheilus melanopterus.
Constantly on the move, this active shoaling fish requires a large aquarium ( 500 L ), planted, with plenty of open space to swim in. Provide good filtration and a gentle current. Cause they can jump make sure the tank is covered well. Floating plants help to deter jumping. They can get White Spot if the water temperature is too low. Temp. should be between 22-28'C with pH 7.
They grow large, up to 37 cm. Balas diet is live, frozen, flake food and vegetable matter.
They are fairly peaceful.
