In Response To: Re: Can i keep loaches with balas??? (Sebastian)

as Sebastian already stated correctly the balas are schooling fish. IMHO a group of at least seven is the minimum for them. Furthermore they grow up to 35 cm, even in tanks and are quite active swimmers. So sooner or later they will outgrow your tank.
