I currently have a 40 gal tank with 2-2" irids and 4-balas (between 1-3"). Also, I have a 2" striped raphael cat. It is a fairly new tank and still cycling. First question: I want to get a 125 gallon tank but I am trying to hold off till I can find a used one at a reasonable price. How long can I safely hold off without doing any damage to the fish? Question 2: I feed them twice a day, tropical flakes and a little bit of frozen bloodworms in the evening. The large Bala (about 3")seems to go crazy after the bloodworms, he starts jerking up and down against the glass like he wants more. The rest of them don't cause a problem. Is he ok? He doesn't do this when I give them the freeze dried variety. Finally Queston 3: For schooling, should I get 2 more balas?
Thanks,
Brian
