I have 3 Bala sharks residing in my 125, one was from a while back and I have been growing him for what seems like forever! I have just recently added 2 more that are very large@ 7-8" Biggest I have kept.

Well these 2 CONSTANTLY nip at each other at or around feeding time. To the point of missing scales. Mine the smaller one, has yet to really get into the throw of thiing...yet...But I'm sure it's only a matter of time.

Anthing I can do to disrupt this, other than to let them do what they do? If so I might have to rehome them.
 
Get more balas.
 
They prefer to be in a group so I agree adding more would help. 7-8" is good size but they will grow almost double that given the chance.
 
I would love to get more, but right now I only have a 125. This is not big enough to handle more balas, so I guess it's time to find a bigger home.

Thanks for the input!
