Tank size #1
Hi guys, would you mind giving me some advice?

I would like to buy a 6ft tank in the near future for 6 clown loaches and 3 Bala sharks? Thinking of creating a river tank with an FX6 filter.

Do you think this setup would be suitable?

Re: Tank size #2
6ft will be OK for clowns, but is not really enough for bala sharks which need 8ft and a group of five or more. http://www.seriouslyfish.com/species/balantiocheilos-melanopterus/
