Shark still hasn't eaten

[digital_run]

I've had my red tailed shark in my 65 gallon tank for about 3 days now and he still hasn't eaten any food that ive tried to feed him...Hes in there with 6 Tiger Barbs( just started my tank awhile ago). Now i have about 3 good caves in there and he hangs out in 1 particularily. I've read that they are very agressive if any other tries to go near there caves...but mine just chills and goes from cave to cave... Now ive tried feeding him peas and cucumber...even feeding him in his cave with the lights off ( hoping the tigers wouldnt see ). But they do and he just lets em gobble up his food....I'm worried as i think hes awesome.

Thnx for any ideas

Red Tail Sharks like to scavenge at the bottom. Dont worry, I bet he scavenges the floor for food all day/night long.
