I've heard that horse shoe crabs are really hard to keep alive in the long run. How long have you had yours? I didn't think much of them until I saw on at petco.
I have had it for 1,5 years, yes you need to do a lot to keep it alive. But if you frequently clean and feed everythings gonna be alright. And yes they can eat crabs, but he never attempted to eat my horseshoe crab :P Also because the horseshoe crab has a bigger panser than the usual crab ;)
read the description, it was the last day in that aquarium. he's now swimming in a zoo and has much more than 500 gallon. He's doing great as far as i know he's 3,5 feet atm.
i kept it together with a banded bamboo shark and worked fine, the only problem is that the bamboo shark sometimes steals the food of the port jackson. Also you need to have different kind of food on stock because the bamboo shark doesn't eat mollusc ;)
@maritlovesmark Wonderful and I appreciate your time for answering. Yes, I really would love to keep a salt water shark aquarium at home. What is the size of this tank?
a shark needs to have his space when it gets bigger, when i still had the shark it flapped once with his tail and he was on the other side of the aquarium..
and why i feed him with a tool is because he sometimes snatched on my finger which results was only a sctratch but still i use a tool it works better..
That is so adorable, port jackson sharks are so awesome

Don't those kind of sharks eat crabs?

Wonderful pets you got there. I would love to know if Port Jackson sharks can live successfully with other shark tankmates?

how big is the tank ? a 100 gallon?

he's not too big for this aquarium, yet.
he looks like he has plenty of room, and he sits on the bottom. i don't know his final size is.
if that shark is so tamed, why are you using a tool to feed him? why not hand feed him? does he have teeth to worry about?
