I added some cleaner snails and a clown fish.

Gonna go look at baby bamboo and coral sharks this wednesday.

Question.

Can I put small 10 for $10 dollar hermit crabs in the 600 gallon with the 7 inch long 2 week old bamboo shark?

I dont Carr if the shark wats them or not.

I care only for the safety of the shark
I used to all the time. My bamboos would eat them from time to time, but most survived just fine. Never bothered the shark

So if I put 30 of the small half inch sized hermit crabs in with the baby bamboo shark or baby coral cat..

Based on your experience the sharks will be fine?

Very cool all around. The pond is going to be stellar! Care to post a better pic of the monitor? Maybe the habitat you have for it? Super intrigued... Varanus spp are great! Always wanted one but don't have the space really.

Snail has one long stem that goes out and up. It buries itself in sand and the one limb sticks out

The snail look like a Nassarius aka "Zombie" snail. They are awesome, popular sand sifters and are quick to consume leftovers and decaying matter that sink to the bottom, emerging from the substrate like... zombies. The "stem" is its siphon, which it uses to breath and smell. As for the clownfish, I am not sure about its longevity with elasmobranchs, due to its small size (@pandaparties had a Round stingray (Urobatis halleri), a "small" elasmobranch, consume 2 Clowns, an Engineer goby, a Diamond goby, and a Royal gramma :().
Added new shark




Great specimen! Does she (I am seeing no claspers) have a name?

A Male. Claspers seen easily in real life. His name is Thumper.


I might have jumped the gun. Got 2 yellow wrasse fish as well.

Was ensured they wont bother the sharks but want to clarify with you fine gents

For a 120x36x30 aquarium - the Shark species I would suggest are the following.

Catsharks - These species max out at 18-28 inches/46-71 cm
- Coral Catshark (Atelomycterus marmoratus)
- Australian Marbled Catshark (Atelomycterus macleayi)
- Spotted-Belly Catshark (Atelomycterus erdmanni)
- Bali Catshark (Atelomycterus baliensis)

Carpet Sharks - These species average 26-33 inches/66-84 cm
- Speckled Carpet shark (Hemisycllium trispeculare)
- Papuan Epaulette (Hemiscyllium hallstromi)
- White-spotted Bamboo shark (Chiloscyllium plagiosum)
- Arabian Bamboo shark (Chiloscyllium arabicum)
- Grey Bamboo Shark (Chiloscyllium griseum)
