if by silver sharks you mean bala sharks then yes they would probably still to too small to mate.

reguardless if they are old enough or not, if you do have bala sharks the there will be no way the will breed anyway. the need a long run for breeding something like 15 feet so unless you have a really big tank breeding probably wont happen.
Warning..I will offend you at some point!!!


my goal is simple a complete understanding of the universe, why it is as it is and why it exists at all

I am sure that someone will correct me if I'm wrong but I believe that Silver sharks have not been bred in captivity yet.

If you can't ignore an insult, top it; if you can't top it, laugh it off; and if you can't laugh it off, it's probably deserved

I have watched videos and read up about the mating of bala sharks and mine match them.

They keep following each other then rubbing up against each other and flicking their tails at the same time against each others, then one goes above the other, then the other goes above that, then they rub against each other some more.

Theyve been doing it for about 2 hours
