I was thinking to buy 3-4 small Bala sharks that will be in my 75g tank with some loaches for some time untill i will get my 120+g tank.
I would like to know if they grow fast and if they will be ok in the 75g tank?
Thanks,

Robby

6-10 months, they should be at a good size to be moved into a larger tank.

They should be fine in your tank, but you'll need a bigger tank in about a year.

If I am correct I think you will find that they progress slowly in a smaller tank, once they establish themselves into a large tank they will put on a good growth spurt providing you feed them well, which I am assured you will see to that.

Have a look in [link=My Profile] http://www.fishprofiles.com/forums/member.aspx?id=1935[/link] for my tank info

Thanks.
I think i will wait till i get the bigger tank and then i will buy some balas.
You think 4-6 will be ok in a 125-150g tank with 4 clowns and what else can i have with those fish.
I will make it an Asian river biotope so the fish must be from that biotope.
Thanks,

Robby
