Still got 4 of them lookin to sell 3 of them. As for feeding them most of the info on planetcatfish about the Trachycorystes is incorrect. They aren't aggressive I've got 4 at the 6" mark living with a Jaguar cat and a 2" Thin bar Dat 2" Cuban cichlid, 3 2" Uaru cichlids, 2 5" Indo Dats and they've never bothered anyone. They don't even eat the feeders that I got for my Thin bar who refused to eat anything but baby guppies. They will eat frozen bloodworms, earthworms, blackworms and marketshrimp. They are a type of driftwood cat though so I suggest using a blue light if you don't mind. Some floating plant's also help to make them more active during the day. They are diggers so definetly no stone stacking they are strong and will kill themselves by causing a stone to fall on them. If you're havin problems with them eating try turning the light's out and droppin live black worms into a current comin out of a powerhead. It'll circulate the smell sufficiently as well as almost guarantee some pass it's face and bam you've got a feeding frenzy. This is the only time I see aggression they will snatch from each other violently as well as give a mighty head but to anything comin near their intended food. Heck I worry they may kill each other they skull butt each other so hard I can hear it from my computer desk. Scared me a couple of times I thought the sound was my tank cracking. Sorry for bein so long winded, but I get carried away atr least you got plenty of info.
