hii i purchased baby TSN 2 pair around 3" and the probelm is what should i feed him
 
Live black worms, bloodworms,earth worms, shrimp, basa fillters and pellets. Just get a wack load of food and see which ones they like! If they are like a tigrinus catfish they will love the live black worms and it will also fatten then up. Once they are larger, around the 5-6" mark then try other, cheaper foods like shrimp etc......
 
well its a pretty hot summer season out here and so finding earthworms etc. is kind of not possible as it would not be avalable as far as sinking food is concerned i have tetrabits sinking but it does not eats it what to do
 
do market shrimp and fish fillets...they will take them...it might take a few days...give them a few rosies to get their hunger going and stomach flowing and they will eat...thats what i did for mine and all 3 were on shrimp and fillets before a week at 3"...they grew to 22" in 5-6 months...

i also gave them live wc feeders every few weeks...people say stay a way from feeders for illness issuses...they try to claim that they hold no nutrition value, but think about it...what to preds eat in the wild?....they don't eat pellets...no processed foods...what does that leave FEEDERS of all sizes...a 2' fish would be a feeder for a 4' big cat...all pred fish eat other fish at some point...that is why i give my fish feeders every now and then...they are desined to eat it...i am a carnivor i eat almost strickly meat...if i eat salads for a week i am capible of killing someone...give them what they want just be sure its clean...
