Black Aro & Large Bala Sharks?

[JK47]

Is anyone keeping this combo together? If so how is it working out?

I am considering moving my 18" black aro into the 475 gallon but I have a school of x8 balas that are pushing if not already at 10" each. I am concerned of the balas quick movement spooking the black. Any thoughts?

At first it may be bad, will probbaly be stressed anyways from the move. I think it would be fine once the aro gets settled.

Thanks for the feedback Brian.

+1 to what Brian said, in a tank that size I don't see the active balas being a problem with the aro once it is used to them.

My aros hate dithers, even 12-14 tinfoils...i see the aro eating or shredding the balas in the future but it may also work just fine. Only one way to find out lol...

In then end I think it may make the aro less skittish
