Bala Shark Questions

I need to know about their temperament

They are relatively peaceful but skittish fish when not housed properly. Reaching the 12"+ mark they require a six foot to provide them with enough swimming room, also they are less skittish when kept in groups of five or more making them unsuitable in anything smaller than a 150g tank.

The fish store told me they are extremely aggressive....i don't believe that

Nope not aggressive just skittish.

Ha mine used to float in one spot and twitch. It was pretty funny. Curious if anyone else's did that.

But ya they are not aggressive

 

[quisemarboy]

Ok, that makes sense

My Bala sharks are peaceful. They just kinda float around and watch everyone else in the tank do their thing
