90gal stocking question

[delfisherman]

my girlfriends dad redid his 90g and put a 8 inch bala shark in it. what else would go with the shark?

 

[joemamauggly]

More balas are nescesarry 2-3 more but that might be pushing it in that tank
As for everything else a larger school of rainbows
Maybe some swordtails as they will get big fast in that tank
Maybe an angelfish
A Pleco of some sort
3-4 Otos
Might be to much but I don't know

Okay, no otos. They will become food for the bala shark. I really think he should re-home the shark. They get HUGE and like to school.

What are the dimensions? If it has enough floor space he could add 2 more bala sharks but nothing else.

 

[joemamauggly]

Yeah I thought so but I have no clue about balas

 

[delfisherman]

his tank is from my memory atleast 24wx36-40hx 60-72l. i know its a custom made 90gal. he bought the bala and a same size tinfoil barb but it died from moving stress. i know he wants to keep the bala so thats outta the question.

the bala shark

Maybe...


Silver dollars
Clown Loaches (3-4)
Angles
Bigger sized Gouramis

 

[delfisherman]

i was thinking bigger pearl or moonloght gouramis and some bigger angels. we have 8 angels that are almost full size that we could spare a few to go in the tank with it.

Moonlight Gouarmis might not work. They are very shy and only should be kept in peaceful tanks. Bala Sharks get mean lol.
