The Bala Shark, also known as the Silver Shark, is originally from Indonesia and Southeast Asia. They are referred to as "sharks" because of their torpedo shaped body and their large fins. The Bala Shark has grown in popularity within the fish community because of its versatility in any freshwater aquarium setting. The Bala Shark is a great community fish.
Among its attributes, the Bala Shark is an extremely hardy fish that is not very susceptible to Ich or other fish diseases, it gets along well with almost all other aquarium fish (they do not pick on smaller fish and because of their size and swiftness, they are not picked on), they are foragers and help keep algae under control, and they are ominvorous (eat meat and vegetables) and will eat just about anything.
Common problems with Bala Sharks include; their ability to jump, and their large size. It is extremely important to have a completely covered tank that does not allow your Bala Shark to jump out. They are accomplished jumpers. Bala Sharks also can become quite large. They have been known to grow up to 18 inches. The normal range is around 13 inches. Therefore, it is important to keep their adult size in mind. A Bala Shark should not be in an aquarium under 55 gallons.

That's a bala shark aka silver shark.
They are schooling fish and need to be in groups of at least 4 individuals. They can grow longer than 12" so a small school would need a minimum of 125 gallons.

Looks like a bala shark aka silver/tricolor/minnow shark. They aren't really sharks. They get really big, and require very large tanks as adults. Honestly unless you are getting a 70+ gallon tank you shouldn't buy one.
