yeah a big tank because sharks get pretty big. and make sure to get a top for a tank because most sharks are jumpers!

I'd go larger than a 55... Bala sharks like to school, so I'd say 125 minimum, and have at least 3 or 4 of them. I wouldn't go any smaller than that because your average Bala Shark will grow to be around a foot long if it's healthy.

Usually you can, but it depends on the store. If they won't give you your money back or let you exchange them, ask around at other fish stores. A lot of them will take fish from people who can't care for them properly in their tanks.

OK I will try
but is there much point in asking for money, or an exchange? I only paid £3 for it, j55 |
