I would have acclimated longer but it could just be the stress of a new environment. Sometimes I takes a while to adjust.
More info....
How long has the tank been running? What other fish are there in the tank? Lights on or off? Airstone?
When you acclimated it, did you have an airstone in the bucket/container? What were the differences between your starting water parameters (water from the store) and your home tank? How was it transported home? In what size container?
How big is the shark?
Is it a catshark or a bamboo shark? (There's no such thing as a banded catshark
)
