Hi my name is Teri and I just signed up. Have 180 gallon fresh water tank with a monster Bala shark and African cichlids. Bala shark is about 10 or 11 years old and about 17 inches. I call him Finnegan. Curious if this is a normal size a Bala shark.2016-07-01 11.09.13.jpg 2016-07-01 11.09.48.jpg

Yeah, balls get pretty big if given the chance.

Welcome to MFK!
 
Welcome Teri and finnegan. Balas can get big. Up to 14 inches in home aqauriums. Seems ur taking good care of finngen. Females get bigger. So ur he could be a she.
 
Dang, Finnegan is huge!!!!

I believe that's typically what they range, in size, in the wild, but in captivity, that's hands down the largest one I've seen. Well done

Welcome to MFK!
 
Welcome to the site, I do not know about balas but I know a clean healthy fish and tank when i see one. :)
