Another of my favorite fish is the bala shark. I have had these guys since they were 3" babies. There fast moving and because of there silver color a challenge to get a decent pic of.

Nice! I imagine the fact they're so reflective doesn't help either.

Definitely a difficult subject to get a pic of, you did a good job on the first pic!!

Thanks Everyone. :22:

Yes the reflectiveness of the scales doesn't help at all. I took these before I learned how to do remote flash ( off camera ). It isn't as reflective that way. :ssmile:

I absolutely love bala sharks. I would sooooo love to have a 500 gallon tank with a school of them. They are such nice guys but I just can't provide what they need.
