Bala Shark

About

The Bala shark, also known as the tricolor sharkminnow or silver shark, is a large, torpedo-shaped freshwater fish. Despite its common name, it is not a true shark but a member of the carp family (Cyprinidae). It is known for its metallic silver body, large eyes, and black-edged fins. Bala sharks are active, schooling fish that require spacious aquariums due to their potential large size and need for company. They are generally peaceful but can be intimidating to smaller tank mates due to their size.
