Can anyone tell me what temp i have to set my tank at to keep silver Bala Sharks?

Im looking to put some Dwarf Frogs in my new tank, ive been told bala sharks will be fine with them? does anyone know what else will play nice?

Ive just set my tank up so i have the joys of 2weeks to wait

Any advice ill be greatful, ill even let you name the fish you recomend!

Normal tropical temp, mines about 26 degrees celcius. BTW, whats the tank size? Balas need a massive tank.

The temp would have to be at 78f if thats easier to figure out than 23 celius.

Same thing. They reach 12-14" in captivity and are schooling fish. A lone bala is a skittish and sad thing. 3 balas in a 100g and 5' long tank would be a minimum humane situation in my opinion.

They're pretty adaptable as long as you provide them with enough room and will do fine in temps from 22ºC to 28ºC. Somewhere in the middle is probably best.
