Balas are omnis. They eat just about everything. I had a old one about 9" that eats fish poo. :swear:

With my bala I would be more worried about the arow getting eaten.LOL :hitting:
 
My bala's are a little over a year old and at 10" ! Its with a 14" Silver aro thats about 7 months old. just guessing at the silvers age, but thats my best guess anyhow! Contrary to popular belief, Balas do indeed breed in captivity! I cant tell you how many times mine have mated and laid eggs. I let them get eaten though, I have no tank suitable for such little fishies!

I mean "time *for me* to start looking for a bigger tank"--I have 9 balas. I knew that was going to be way too many eventually, but I was hoping to wait until next summer.

Holy crap! Nine Bala sharks??? I once knew a fellow that had a pond in his yard and had his balas in there over the summer each year well, they ended up getting at least 14" (no **** either" and everytime he had to wade into the pond to fix or adjust something they would suck on his feet...toes,ankles,leg hair!! hahaha..He said he dreaded going in there because it felt so weird. He said that they would probably knock him down if he wasn't expecting it..LOL! :screwy:
