breeding bala sharks
- Thread starter motorofreak

balas require a large pond of atleast 12'/4'/3'
i heard of bala sharks being bred in INDIA in a place called CHENNAI,
have never seen them personally but have heard about it,
though i had seen a few large bala sharks in very large ponds and of a very large size ,around 14-16"
