i know some of you guys and gals has one bala shark or the
red tail shark... i am not sure how come it is called shark
though it looks like more on loach.....

my question is... IS IT REALLY A MEAN FISH???? i have one
in the community tank and he keeps on chasing every one...
one of the red zebra broke the jaw when chased hitting hard
with the coral face-off

My balas were never aggressive... They were always very timid and mellow... My red tail on the other hand used to chase the goldfish around quite a bit...

Are you sure they are Balas?

sometimes you just get fish with a bad temper.
Remember my ceylon barb, that started killing the bigger fish in the community tank?
Those barbs are supposed to be gentle, but i got the one Killer specimen around...
And we all know what happened to the barb, after he was put into the "Real-killers-tank"...

I'm not saying to feed the bala to your other fish, but even if a species is known as gentle or good community fish, doesn't mean every single fish acts and reacts in the same way.
Teach him some manners, and tell him about the place where bad fish end up.
That is in the big tank with the big boys.
Our fish don't grow too big, our tank becomes too small!
