White fin shark=Most likely columbian shark. What size is the tank?
What shrimp is it? Your monos and sharks are going to eat them.

10-12 inches is big. Furthermore, these are shoalers and should best be kept in a minimum number of 4 which only a 6-footer tank could accomplish.
My fan tail ate small zebra danios before, they slowly kept disappearing, but with 56 gallons I think they should be able to get away, this was only in a 10 gallon. But its not like you drop in a danio and they will eat it, it just happens.
Look -- this worm is to big, their just doing it for entertainment, I wouldn't give mine one that big, I would chop it up first. The goldfish cant bite pieces off so you have to give it to them in smaller pieces.

they actually got a piece off on this video, but I would still stop wasting the fishes effort, and for the worms sake just chop it up first... --

Assuming this is the tank you have, for a brackish water environment, you should certainly avoid scats, monos and columbian sharks. Mollies, Celebes rainbowfish, Chanda ranga and bumblebee gobies/Etroplus maculatus would your best bet for a brackish water community.
go with 7 bleeding heart tetras, 10 neon tetras, 1 dwarf gourami
it will look awesome btw how big is the tank?
and add some fake plants/ real plants for decor and some drift wood or ornaments

No I'm sorry I had brackish tank like 10 years ago. I had it for about a year and then all of a sudden overnight the went nuts. Shark and Shrimp? were the only ones left. I haven't had a tank since.
