Even with the big difference of sizes they get along very well. I recommend you to try feeder guppies(they are cheap) and Females will give you fries.hope you have at least a 55 G.

It kept hiding for a few days but when it came out one day too close the BS good by small fish. I would only be concered with the fry as they would see it as food as many fish do.

Cichlid Keeper Big Fish Posts: 368 Kudos: 466 Votes: 304 Registered: 17-Aug-2003	I have balas in my 125 gal. with clown loaches and tiger barbs.The balas all pretty much shoal together and don't really pay the other fish much attention. So I think you'd probably be ok mixing them with guppies. Last edited by Cichlid Keeper at 18-Jan-2005 22:23
