You probably wondered where the heck these things came from and what you should do with them.

The Bala Shark, scientific name Balantiocheilos Melanopterus, isn't really an actual shark but was named as such because of its appearance, which features silver coloring and tall dorsal fins.

These energetic fish also form gorgeous schools and are compatible with several different tank mates to add an interesting variety to your aquarium.
