Try some ghost shrimp or some squid, or try small piece of peeled shrimp. But try the squid first. If you got the shark from you Lfs did you see it eat before you got it if not the shark may take awhile before it start to eat. It could take up to 2 weeks before the shark to start to eat. I feed my sharks squid and silversides and peeled shrimp, good luck hope everything works out.

The Shrimp you can find at your local Grocery Store. Squid can be iffy -since some grocery stores may not carry it. But Remember - you want fresh raw shrimp (preferable saltwater) not cooked. Frozen is okay - if you don't have much of choice.

Sorry for your loss.
Probably should hold off on any large fish until your much bigger tank is set up. You're currently well overstocked as it is.
