My friends, that I got the parrots from, called me last night. They were a little frantic. They have Green Terror fry, about 150 - 200. They wanted to know what to do, how/what to feed them. I told them to do exactly as they have been doing. I guess their large bala shark had gobbled down about 30 fry so they took him out and put him in a pot. They asked if I could watch him until the fry were bigger. So hes got a 20 gallon all to himself.

How big is the bala ? as to be honest they need a bigger tank than that

I don't have any other tanks he can be in. Its probably 4+".

Well if its only going to be for a short time then its not a big problem

Carefull his missus loves them, but yes your right they are by a lot of fishkeepers

Well, I caught some on 'pixel' whilst I was away. I'll post them up for discussion.

Caught some what on pixel?

Parrot fish i think

Oh

I think I put them up. A video, and a couple of stills.

Ugly fish. Or perhaps I should just say 'unattractive'. 'Fugly' is actually is another term we use down here, that comes to mind.

Oh that word isn't just down there. Its used here quite often.

I took the bala shark back to the owners. They had him for about a week and called me back and said come get him again. I put him in the 135 where I told my friends would be his permanent home.

Very nice Will you be getting any more ? The reason i ask is they are a schooling fish, also be warned they also have a tendancy to jump

I really haven't done any research on the bala to tell you the truth. I may look into more in the future. Right now I'm looking at some F1 rottkeil severums. The 135 is completely covered now. I just have to make sure I close the lid. Thanks clunk.
