I just purchase a bamboo cat shark yesterday and he wont eat. He is in my 180 gallon tank and the water conditions are good. He doesnt even seem interested in food I have tried gold fish which my local fish store told me they were feeding him and he was haply eating them and I also tried some fresh shrimp with no luck is this normal, what would you suggest?

First, DO NOT FEED her goldfish. Only use only raw foods like squid, shrimp, smelt etc.
Second, depending on the size of the shark she may need a few days (Up to a week) to start eating after being moved.
Last, Lets see some pictures!

thanks ill try to get some pics of him and he is probaly 8 inch or smaller im worryed about him/her and were would i get squid
Yeah - Gold fish or any freshwater fish(guppies, mollies, etc) are very bad for sharks. Basically it's like feeding a child a diet of candy and junk food.
The best choices for food - fresh Shrimp, crab, sw fish, scallops or squid. Cut into tiny bite size pieces.

I always bought a 5 lb box of frozen squid at Kroger then cut and cleaned it myself at feeding time.
