My bala shark seems to be really frightened of a slightly larger puffer fish in the same tank, the bala is really jumpy and swims against the glass when the puffer gets near it. Should I get rid of my puffer or my bala or neither, should I leave it alone? What should i do?

bala sharks do best in schools of about 6. Thats alot of inches of fish. How big is your tank, do they have plenty of hiding places AND room to swim around? You don't want to stress out you fish so you might want to sepparate them or upgrade you tank.

Try taking both fish out of the tank and changing it around a little bit. If both fish are put in a "new" tank at the same time,
they re-establish their territories, and sometimes get along better.
