Strawberry Hermit Crabs

[indy1]

Can strawberry hermits be kept with a bamboo shark? These crabs get big. But I'm not sure if the sharks appetite will be bigger!

I wouldn't think so, but you can try 1 or 2 of them.

LionFish says.......
No, these will most likely persish soon after introduction to the tank. In an ideal shark tank you don't want a lot of rocks and that is what those hermits would need to hide in. They would eventually be found out and eaten. Of course, sharks aren't my expertise, still I believe they would get eaten. But they might make it. All you could do is try a couple. Depending on their price only get one and test it out. I'd be interestd to see how it worked out.

the crabs won't last-cause my shark is two feet and he tries to eat my tiny hermit crabs that i have but he doesn't want to eat the shells -they will eat anything

Well I went out and bought a huge crab ( hairy hermit?) He's about 3" in diameter. We'll see what happens when my shark hatches.....
