Irrendencet and bala sharks

[shawn]

I am thinking of getting some irrendenct and bala sharks for my new 125 thats coming in 4 weeks.I am going to need some info on these guys. And some pictrues because I've never kept them before. And what could be there tankmates that could live in a 125 gallon.Thanks.Alex.c

not much else. both get big. the balas can hit a foot and are schoolers so you sould have at least 3, and the irridescent sharks can be even bigger. are you planning on adding any of your other fish to this 125? what size tank are they in now?

what about when some of the ones in the 300 get too big for the 300 and everyone else in it has already fully stocked the tank? redbelly pacus can be over 2', the arowana could hit 4', and the channel cat could be over 3'.
