    If you are referring to bala sharks, your sharks will get to 12 to 14" in size. Your going to need a much larger tank for them in the near future.

    If you take your time to do the research FIRST, you can successfully set-up and keep ANY type of aquarium with ease.

    these fish need ALOT of swimming space. a 30g just won't be good for the longterm health of balas.

    At this point, doesn't matter what you have. Those fish need to be returned and can never make it in a 30 gallon.

    It should also be mentioned that balas should be kept in schools. Yet another reason why they are unsuitable for your tank.
