LOL! you mean you didnt ask when you bought it???:scared:

i "heard" that you have to help them start swimming by pushing them around the tank letting the water go through their gills. but i know that it won't eat usually for about 2 weeks or so

most likely a banded cat shark?? Had one... never in the shell tho.. but, after they hatch.. i have seen them go longer, almost a month without eating.. they are finiky eaters

Bamboos dont breath through ram-jet. They can get oxygen at rest like most other aquarium sharks. The best thing to do for it is nothing. Leave it alone, let it hatch and start eating on its own when its ready.

Just let it hatch by itself you do not have to do anything and they are about 6in long when they hatch

It's dumb to put a shark egg in a 55 if that's what it's in. The fish will need a tank 5 times that big within a few months of hatching.
I say get rid of it (to a LFS or some other outlet) and give the poor guy a chance to survive.
