$10.00Price
The bala shark, Balantiocheilos melanopterus, is a sleek, silver-bodied freshwater fish with a distinct shark-like shape and striking black-edged fins. Native to Southeast Asia, bala sharks can grow up to 12–14 inches in captivity, requiring a large aquarium of at least 125 gallons. Known for their active and peaceful nature, they thrive in groups of three or more, making them a lively addition to large community tanks. Bala sharks prefer water temperatures between 72-82°F with a neutral pH and benefit from a varied diet of high-quality flakes, pellets, and occasional live or frozen foods. Due to their size and schooling needs, they are best suited for experienced fish keepers with ample space.
