1) test your water and post it: ammonia, nitrites, nitrates and pH.
2) give the size of the tank, the size of the shark and the types and sizes of all the other fish in the tank
3) tell us what you are feeding it
4) tell us if you saw the shark eating the same thing at the store
5) tell us what foot traffic (people) and sounds (music, cars, tv) are around the tank
Having said all that, it's not uncommon for fish to take a while before they eat. But the above information would help clear up some easier issues.

I use boiled water and i use a 20 gallon tank .Shark is 3-4 inch and in tha tank live two goldfish1-2 inch and a koi 2inch .He doesent look agressive with they. I am feeding him with some vary small pellets that are made from small fish pieces.my tank is in a table of my shop and many people see this.
Those fish have different temperature needs. What temperature is the tank?
Well 24 is too warm for the goldfish and koi, and it's cooler than I would keep a shark. He might not be eating for several reasons:
1) the tank is too much in the open (too busy, too noisy)
2) the fish is still getting used to having been moved and put in a strange tank
3) it's a bit too cool
