ID and Bala sharks

[Matty]

I've been trying to get information about ID and Bala sharks for a long time but I cannot seem to find a reliable source anywhere Does anyone know of a good source on these fish? And under which forum category would these fish be listed (the closest I could think of was the catfish cradle, but they don't quite fit) Thanks alot for your help!

ID sharks are catfish of the Pangasius family and are not suitable for home aquariums, these fish can grow to over 4 feet and need public aquarium sized housing. See this thread to see how large ID sharks can get http/fish.orbust.net/forums/index.php?showtopic=11418

Bala sharks are Cyprinids, while these do not reach the same huge sizes as ID sharks they still reach around 12" on average and will require a minimum of a 120 gallon tank, they are schooling fish and should be kept in groups of at least 3.
