Hey guys, I have a 3" Red tailed cat and im getting scared because im seeing things about people over feeding them all over the place. I got him yesterday and so far he's had two little ripped off tailes of a prawn, a little piece of raw chichen (tiny like pencil lead thick) and then this morning hes just had two 1cm cube size prawn pieces. Am I doing this right or what? My planned schedual is two pieces of prawns two times a day.
How often do i have to feed my RedTailed Cat?!

Sorry I know there is lots of information on feeding but it never says how much and how often, thats what I'm looking for. I will expand his died once i get the chance.
no sucj thing as over feeding them to be honest. i fed mine once a day as much as he could eat and once he got over 10in i moved to every other day and now he is at about 20 in and gets fed usually every 3 days as much as he can eat.
mine eats shrimp talapia blue gill and sometimes trimmings from steak and fish when i cook

alot of people on here are scared to voice what they did bc there are a thousand people waiting to flame you about your ways. but i just simply dont care.
i would hope you ont do exactly what i did. do what you think is right man. i based my feeding off of natural habits of catfish. if they find food they gorge untill they cant eat anymore and then find a spot and digest. they arent like active predators like bass and such that are constantly feeding.
good luck on this guy. i hope you are ready lol they get big fast and need alot of filtration.
alot of people dismiss the warnings and then let the fish suffer.

Thanks dude. I never thought about what you said about the natural feeding. that is very true. And yeah ive got him in a 45 lirte storage box turned in to a little tank at the minute and then ges going in a 180 which i hope will house him for a year, maybe more? I never know why people buy a rtc with a 10 gallon then move it to a 30 gallon then move it to a 55 then a 75 and so on, you may as well as get them a decent sized tank to start in then get him something for adulthood like a pond.
