Since feeding these to my rtc his stomach is very large. He has not ate since late yesterday and his stomach is HUGE. His tankmates are all there... Im stumped on this one. Im afraid to feed him again today. I think im going to let is stomach try and deflate before i feed him again, what do you guys think?
 
definitely wait. If you overfeed they will get sick and ruin your water quality. Massive water changes due to catfish puking in the water is no fun. especially scooping out chunks of half digested fish. Stinky too. His belly should go down noticibly by tomorrow. If not then try feeding him earth worms or night crawlers. They are a natural laxitive. Sometimes it takes them a while to digest whole fish due to scales and bones! Good luck.
