Shark Attacks
SHARK !
Nothing strikes greater fear than the thought of being eaten alive by a shark. Sailors of the Old World feared many creatures from the deep blue oceans.
Sharks are also really good fun, a variety of small cat sharks and other bottom feeding /anything âE'they-can-catch sharks are really different from anything you can put in a reef tank.
The shark came right up to the window as you can see - I looked right into its eyes, my fear was evident - and it yawned. I did get a good view of its gnashers, and you can see its razor sharp teeth.
Bala Sharks are actually a Barb, and as such are a schooling fish. Because of this they will do best in groups, and, if possible, the larger the group, the better.
The "shark-fin" is an interesting feature worth discussion. The fish shown at the top of this page is one such individual and can be thought of as the "true" L200.

Also called the "High-Fin Banded Shark", this fish is found in stores when it is in its attractive and unusual juvenile stage at around 10.2-15.2cm (4-6"). It has a very tall sail-like dorsal fin with black bands and speckling on a white body.

One only needs to look in shops or public aquariums to see how many pacu, Red Tailed Catfish, Giant Gouramis, triggerfish, eels, and yes, even sharks have been donated because they have outgrown their original owners' aquaria.

Ruby would probably be a better gauge on freshwater fish temperament than I. I always liked the freshwater sharks; they can get big, but you have a big tank.
Good luck,
Shawn.
SOme peaceful fish would be Algae Eaters, Angelfish, Betas, Catfish, Cories, Danios, Discus', Goldfish, Gouramis, Guppies, Knifes, Loaches, Mollies, Platies, Sharks, Swordtails, and Tetra's. As you can see their are many fish that are peaceful.
