Your bala should go into a bigger tank as well if you want it to grow up normally. Also remember that it isnt a great idea to mix coldwater and tropical fish. If you like the types of fish you have in your tank this set-up might look a little simular: 3x Plattys 2x Ottos And possibly some neons. ^_^ Inky

For a week if you're looking to remedy a problem in a larger tank or find them a home, it'll be ok, but they absolutely need to be in different conditions.

You need a much bigger tank & i would take the fish back to the LFS, if you cannot get a bigger tank. Next time do some research on the fish you are going to buy, before you buy them. http://uk.pg.photos.yahoo.com/ph/s8xi5heh/my_photos http://www.geocities.com/s8xi5heh/classic_blue.html http://groups.yahoo.com/group/buzaqq/ http://www.deathbydyeing.org/ http://www.flickr.com/photos/corydoras/ Member of the Malta Aquarist Society - 1970. http://www.maltaaquarist.com
