Bala shark talk! When does a 2" inch bala shark get to about 12" inch?

Just curious 'cause I just got a couple more medium baby sized ones (2 and a half inches) just to create a little school and give my lonely 3" and half inch bala shark named bala in my 250 gallon tank some buddies. They are currently in a quarantine and I'm checking up on them.. can't wait to add them! But I'll definitely first be growing them out in my rainbowfish tank though until they reach a pretty good decent, ungobbable size.. My oscar's in the 250 gallon, and man he's GROWING FAST. I might have to take out bala that is in at 3 and half inches.. :O Balas are REALLY quick and swift though, eh?? What do you guys think taking him out and as well as your experience on bala shark's growth rate.

What do you feed your bala sharks, what temps, size tanks you keep them in? How many ya got and what's your experience with them? Feel free to talk anything about bala sharks here pretty much.

Picture of them. Got them yesterday.

Well, they were sold to me as medium size at the LFS lol That's why I called them medium size..

True, I wouldn't call 2 and a half inch medium size either, of course haha. Medium size would be about 7 inches, imo.

Thanks for sharing the info, krichard.

I'll keep that in mind, thanks, lardie.

Oh and thanks for sharing your experience and inputs, jclyde and the rest of you guys. I'll see if i can get mine to take pellets and some frozen foods. For some reason bala doesn't take pellets readily though. I'm gonna see if I can train my small bala sharks and bala to take pellets better.
