well i had about 6 bala sharks in a 180 gallon awhile ago they arnt aggressive at all and they are cheap.

P. denisonii are great fish for a community, according to my research. I was also considering getting a group of them until I saw the price tag...

Oh, they are very cool fish, they are so hardy looking when full grown..
but.. I ordered 2 through my supplier at work for myself and put them in the planted tank. they were about 2-3 cm and didnt make it??..wondering if they are not so hardy when young..thought maybe someone had some tips..that did cost me..my boss said dont worry about it..but..i felt bad..costing her 30.00 bucks..before i had noticed the 2 gone I had ordered 2 more ask my supplier to send bigger one if they had them..
3-4 in one was DOA and the other was not looking good from the start..call and they gave me credit for them..so all good there. they retail for $28.99 ea..i want 7 total...but I pay cost soo its not tooo bad.
in the tank are some lg danios, rainbows 4-5 and a skunk botia..hes very big..do you think maybe he played a roll in the 2 dead from the start..they all like the bottom..
