The bala shark is a freshwater species of the Cyprinidae family. Bala sharks have gray or silver bodies with long, pointed yellow or gray fins edged with black.
Bala sharks are popular with aquarists due to their shark-like body shapes and striking fin patterns. These peaceful shoaling fish are less aggressive and territorial than actual freshwater sharks.
Bala sharks are peaceful fish that can be housed with other medium-to-large, peaceful fish. Don’t house them with aggressive or carnivorous fish like neon tetras.
Don’t add non-fish species like shrimps and crabs to a bala shark tank, because they are known to eat crustaceans.
