Hello,
I'm having issues feeding my 4" tigrinus catfish. I've had him for a month now, the first week he barely ate, tried blood worms and shrimps, on the 2nd week he started eating twice a day on cut tilapia meat and, but only if I put of food in front of him, the 3rd week he started eating less, once a day. Now on the 4th week he had stopped eating completely. He gained at least an inch in size in the first 3 weeks as i tried to power feed him, but now I'm concerned as I'm traveling for 6 days after tomorrow. he's in a 50 gal grow out with 2 motoro stingrays and 2 bichirs, I do 20% water change twice a week and there is moderate flow in the tank. This is by far the most picky/ finicky catfish I have ever kept. Please any advice or "trick" would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
