Hi my shark has been in my tank about 2 .5 weeks is feeding when i put food near him but he dosnt seam to swim much. When he fist went in he swam about a bit but now just stays under rock and breath slow n deep any ideas ? Will he start to swim as weeks pass.
 
Welcome to R2R Grant. Can you give us tank info please. How large, how long has it been setup, chemistry, etc. It's eating so thats a good sign. Typically when smaller I've noticed more activity and willingness to discover it's surroundings. #welcometor2r

Welcome to R2R! I know nothing of sharks other than what I've seen in JAWS ;)
 
My tank is 6' x 2' 650 lts with sump and large skimmer, been running about 6.5 months all parameters are good.
 
Not familiar with the behavior of hatchlings, but the adults we have at the local Public Aquarium (about 3' long each) spend most of their time snuggled into a corner. They'll come out and do a circuit of the tank a few times a day - and go back to one or the other of their two favorite snuggle-spots.
