Are you using feeding tongs? Keeps the water cleaner also. I had trouble getting one of my sharks to take food until i got the appropriate tongs. Hes been eating every day since.

What are you feeding? He is probably not accepting food you give him due to be full off shrimp in your tank. I used a feeding stick and no issues. Hope you get him to eat soon!

Being a freshwater shrimp they probably lack certain nutrients that the shark may need,so no,not good for the long term.

Sounds like you should b good to go now 
def. Need better food than ghost shrimp tho. Live chromis, market shrimp, squid, krill, scallops, silversides, vita-chem marine and mazuri vitamins should b on your list of foods. How large is your shark? I feed my 20" coral cat pair daily atleast 3-4 pieces of market shrimp each doused in vitamins. They also eat everything i listed above just refrencing shrimp for an actual food amount.

He is 6"-7" the Lfs was feeding rods predator mix. He hasn't ate the rods Predator mix since I brought him home. I had gotten some frozen squid in cuttlefish tentacles but didn't realize that they were blanched already cooked so maybe that's why he didn't eat them going to see if I can get fresh stuff at market today. Thanks for all the help.
