There are four main things we need to know before we can begin to help you:

- Tank size
- Stock list
- Water parameters (pH, ammonia, nitrite, nitrate)
- How long it has been set up

Post back with this information and we can start to find out what's wrong with your bala.

the bala shark is going to outgrow that tank really quickly as they reach 14 inches long,and you must go and get a test kit for ammonia ,nitrate and nitrite at the very least because keeping fish healthy is all about water quality.

Gibson SG you know you want one!!
