upgrade coming

[celebrist]

So, after 10 years with my 150 I am finally upgrading this summer to a 450. Here is my dilemma: I love my current stock and want to add fish that will go with them. Here are a couple of pics that I snapped today. The quality is poor I know but you get the idea. would a flag tail cause havoc with these guys?

oh yeah, my 90 is going in:
10 bloodfins
1 red rainbow

You should be them in there for a couple month to see if any problems occur before you add more.

maybe to the plants, but eventually the balas and id will take out the bloodfins and small tetras

Here is what is weird, that ID is five years old and six or seven inches! He is not deformed or unhealthy, I am hoping I got lucky and just have a runt. I have never had balas eat smaller fish before, is this common?

Bala sharks are opportunistic and may eat anything if they have the opportunity.

In a 450 when the balas get like this

If my balas get that size the tetras will gladly sacrifice themselves!
