Well im not experienced with sharks in a tank but.... In the wild sharks like stuff that is bleeding. maybe take a live fish and cut his stomach open so it bleeds? just a thought..

Try to find frozen or fresh clams and krill. They prefer crustaceans evident by their teeth [or lack there of acutally a "bristled gum"]. Very strong jaws, great for breaking up shells on clams, crabs, etc. How long have you had it? Did it eat prior to leaving the store?

I hope you have the water chilled, as these are temperate sharks. They will not survive terribly long at the typical tropical temperatures we keep for our tanks.
