Bala Shark/Tricolor Sharkminnow - (Balantiocheilos melanopterus)
Información del producto

🐟 Bala Shark / Tricolor Sharkminnow – (Balantiocheilos melanopterus)

The Bala Shark, also called the Tricolor Sharkminnow, is a sleek, fast-swimming freshwater fish prized for its striking silver body and bold black-edged fins accented with white tips. Despite its shark-like appearance, it is peaceful and schooling by nature, making it a popular choice for large community tanks. However, its potential size and active swimming behavior require a spacious aquarium.

🐟 Enjoys a varied diet including plant matter, insects, and small crustaceans


⚖️ Temperament

🐠 Peaceful and social — best kept in groups of 5 or more
🚫 Not aggressive but may outgrow small or slow-moving tankmates


🧠 Behavior & Special Considerations

🌡️ Temperature: 72–82°F (22–28°C)
💧 pH: 6.5–7.5
📏 Size: Up to 14 inches (35 cm) in captivity
