Hello, i own a fully cycled 112 gallon aquarium, which has 8 baby angels in it. About a 8 days ago i bought 6 bala sharks and at first they seemed to be doing fine, then after like 5 days they just started to die i have three left out of six. So i was just wondering why this is happening my water parmeter is ammonia-0, nitrite-0, and nitrate-20. is this just nature death? also my angelfish are doing just fine it is the sharks that keep diing and help would be great thanks.

We just picked up three bala's from our LFS. He said they really don't like change or travelling. He kindly filled the bag we were transporting them in with oxygen. He also recommended we leave the bag for only 5 mins before added a little tank water. Then to add a little more every 5 minutes.
They look quite happy one week later.
Anyone heard anything similar ?

Never heard that from someone else, but it makes sense to me. I never had much luck with them over the years after a move. If they survive three months after a move they're good for years, but...
