how did you acclimate him? I am not that familar with freshwater but need to make sure you gradually introduce them into the enviroment. Did you float him and then slowly let the water in the bag?

I have heard that it is not good to feed your fish the day that you get them...can cause distress and such.

Is your water parems ok?

I would personally just turn off your lights to reduce stress and see how he is in am.

AND WELCOME!

 

oopps I did not see the last part of it...I was thinking it was one of the FW cats...but it is a marine shark..my bad

More importantly how did you acclimate it and how is your water paremeters?

How big is your tank? I see that these can get big. Please post your water parems so others with shark experience can chime in.

good luck
