I have around 15 …
I have around 15 fish not including the fry. I also just added 3 more sharks. 1 Red Tailed, 1 Rainbow and 1 Silver-Tipped Shark. All Sharks will be moved to my 46 Gallon when I get it, which will be mid-year. I do have all fake plants with the exception of the two front ones. The bright green plant is called Peacock Fern and the grassy one is Kyoto Grass which I see the fish eat some times. If anything else you like to know email me and I will be ahppy to help. I sent you a message. Thanks.

Yeah! I do, but …
Yeah! I do, but they do most of the breeding. LoL As long as your water is right with no ammonia or nitrite and low level if any of nitrate they should breed. I also keep my water at 80 degrees. And water changes weekly at least 15% I do and that helps to make them breed as well.

No he has never …
No he has never tried to eat or kill any of my other fish. Actually it’s the tetra’s that I have who are more harmful to the smaller fish. I’ve actually seen the tetra eat some of the fry and yet the Bala goes no where near them.

Assuming you are …
uming you are talking about the one you see the bala shark they do get to big for a 10 gallon. I honestly had mine in a 6 gallon when he was very small, but as he got bigger he stopped swimming and I knew it was because he wasn’t happy. He is now living in a 46 gallon tank I have which is adequate for him now. They will grow to about 12in. in size.
