These two are the original two I got ages ago. I have tried adding more, but they kept dying, I have no idea why. I decided to give up getting more, and anyway, these two seem to be quite happy together. There are only 6 Penguin Tetra,s, 1 plattie, and 4 small Bristle noses atm. so they have a lot of swimming space. Its a planted tank, with most of the plants along the back and a couple of bunches in the middle. You can see a lot of gravel. I wish a could put a photo up, but I have no camera.

omg, how big do these fish grow. I was told, 30 inches max, if your lucky

if they stay happy and well I'm guessing that that is the size that my 2 would grow to. Is there a chance that they would be happy in a tank 6x2x2 ????

My Hubby having kittens with the idea about my getting a six foot one. I don't honestly think he would allow me to go any bigger. :dunno:

Hi, I have two Bala Sharks in a 3 foot tank. At the moment they are only 6 inches long. They are healthy and happy and growing like weeds, they were originally in a 2 foot when they were tiny, then the 3 footer when they got bigger. I do have a 4 foot tank waiting for them (I had originally decided that when they got to big for the four foot I would sell them) but I love my fish to much to do that. So, what is the best size tank that that I can have built for them to live out their lives happily once they are full grown??? I have other fish with them but Im not worried about them, they are a lot smaller. which raises another Q, I have tetra,s (3 Diff kinds) platties, bristle noses. Will they eat them as they get bigger???

Um, Ira, isnt a 4X2 the same as a 2X4. :-?

:bounce: I am so excited, I just got my first 6 Neon Tetras today, and after about a half hour aclimatising, and a half hour after adding water to their bag from the tank, they are now loose and swimming around. I have a wee AR 380 tank that I want to eventially have in it, 10 Neons, 2 little Corries and 1 Siamise Fighting fish. I used to keep Tropical fish a long time ago, but due to changes in my life, had to give up the hobby. I kept most of my fish tanks tho. I am so looking forward to getting the other tanks up and running, but not untill I have gained back my confidence. My AR 380 is my focus at the moment.
