Well, just moved my community from their 90 to a 125. Biggest difference is obviously the length, giving the balas an additional couple feet to continue to grow out in.
Previously there was no real trouble in the tank, my large sev keeps order. Well after moving everyone last night, I woke up this morning to find my school or neons has gone from 15 to 2!!!! What do I see but one bala and one raphael catfish both going after them in their caves. So theyre completely wiped out now, all were huge for neons, have had them for over a year. Then the catfish and plecos started going at it on the logs, I have never seen my plecs attempt to bite anyone before, all morning they have been doing this for prime spots.
I know balas will eat anything, but no one, not even the sev has ever gone after the neons. Really a frustrating morning as I loved watching the entire group dart along. Pumped to have a bigger tank for everyone to grow in, but it was a bit of a surprise, no deaths in a cramped 4 ft 90, but 13 dead in one night in the spacious 6footer. WTF
