Things to Know about Bala Sharks

The Bala Shark isn’t a shark at all though. It belongs in the Cyprinidae family. Be warned that these Bala sharks are excellent jumpers. Have a hood on your aquarium to prevent your Silver Shark from leaping to its death. They are very fast swimmers and will dart around your aquarium very quickly. Be sure you don’t have any sharp objects in your aquarium that could injure your fish.

They are not recommended for the beginner because of their large aquarium requirements.

These freshwater Bala sharks will eat most types of fish food including vitamin enriched flake foods, pellets, frozen, freeze dried and definitely live foods with the key being a varied diet. They sometimes make a clicking noise while eating.
