This is My shark page, which I have two kinds, the Black Shark, and the Bala Shark. I bought this Black Shark when he was 2" inches and now he is 12" inches. I got him for a non cichlid tank that I was going to start which I never did, and I just couldn't get rid of him. He likes to eat out of my hand when I feed them and he is not afraid. He loves to crew's around the tank. He never picks on the cichlids but they sometimes pick on him yet he holds his ground against them. Great bottom cleaner he eats everything that he can put in his mouth.
                                         Black Shark
     Morulius Chrysophekadaion
     Inhabits: Comes from Thailand and the Greater Sunda Islands.
     Length: Grows to 60cm(24"inches). It grows quickly in captivity and is very voracious,it constantly seeks food on the bottom and is partial to any kind of food. Makes a lovely exhibit for large aquariums.

The Bala Shark my wife like'e these and she bought them when we were going to have a non Cichlid Tank, so I kept them. We have two of them when we bought them they were 1.5" inches and know there 4" inches. They are great dither's for the Cichlid Tank, there tough and they do fight back when the cichlids chase them, there very fast swimmer's and it's hard to get pict. of them. I like them better than Gaint Daniols.
