Growing up to 35cm in length, they are renowned for their shimmering silver, torpedo-like bodies that resemble mini sharks.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBala sharks must be kept in groups of three to six to minimise stress and promote natural behaviour. They are an inherently skittish fish that can be easily startled. Be sure to secure the lid on your aquarium as they are amazing jumpers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBala sharks, whilst they start off small as juveniles, grow quickly and as they approach adult hood, will require an aquarium at least six foot long. Consider a soft substrate and avoid any hardscapes materials that have sharp or jagged edges, bala sharks can alter direction quickly and could become injured on something sharp in their haste to move away from what has spooked them.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBala sharks are generally considered peaceful fish, however, when considering suitable tank mate, be mindful that they may eat smaller fish that can fit inside their mouths, such as smaller tetras, etc.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAt Wirral Aquatics we feed our Bala sharks EBO pro soft spirulina, \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.wirralaquatics.co.uk\/products\/ebo-foods-pro-soft-artemia\"\u003eartemia\u003c\/a\u003e, algae wafers and a selection of live and frozen foods too.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Wirral Aquatics","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54575471395144,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0865\/1364\/7944\/files\/43d63929-242c-4289-8460-f3ddd9cebe93-81642fc9.jpg?v=1794360132","url":"https:\/\/www.wirralaquatics.co.uk\/products\/bala-shark","provider":"Wirral Aquatics","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
