The Bala Shark is a beautiful fish. They're not really Sharks though. They are in the same family as the Minnow and the Danio. Their bodies look like Sharks though. They get to be a little over a foot long, so they get to a good size.
Bala Sharks are omnivorous, which means they eat animal and plant matter. They eat insects in the wild and in an aquarium they will eat Brine Shrimp and also insects. They eat flake food too, and you can give them veggies.
Bala Sharks are rather peaceful and like to school with their kind, which makes them feel safe. They are a fast swimmer too!
Bala Sharks live around 10 years.
