Poly tank and friends

Polyaddict86 Polyaddict86 , cute little bala shark in there. I had a bala for a while and it was pretty small but completely safe with a Weeksii, teugelsi, delhezi, palmas palmas, and gold dust. These were all able to have eaten it, but they couldnt care less and it was thriving and growing well for monrhs, After I added my endli and koliba, the poor little bala 'disappeared' one night... (got ate). I think it may have been like the second or third night the two polys were in the tank.

Bad, blurry pic but you can see how little the bala was. Even the predatory snook ignored it.

Nice shoal of SD's. How does the Pink tail get along with the SD's?
Thanks, the pink tail is getting along well, i mean i just bought it last night so i dont know how long before it become aggressive, bit i was watching last night one of the wide bar was trying to chase it. Im planing to try a school of six and see if it will work.

Tell me about it, i had six and the first two nights was fine, they didnt get eaten, but i think the bala got comfortable with the polys and started to go close to the polys and they started missing, night after night one will be gone. Im still planing to grow a school of bala of 4 but just dont know how to do it in one tank.im thinking on putting a divider in the corner just like 10" long and 2' wide.

Lmao, the snook was probably the one that ate him, and then put on the "I'm innocent" face the next day. Snooks are like catfish......I don't trust them at all.
 
Had six and moved 3 to my uncles pond. Got three now. Keeping some space. Plus i might add an ornate pim so looking to shuffle up the mix. Might the other three as well.
