I walk into wal mart the other day to get my tilapia and shrimp and scallops for my rays, and they don't have tilapia, i was like what the hell. soo i started looking at the frozen individually package sealed catfish filets, and almost bought a couple bags to try, but decided not too. does any1 use them?? do they have alot of bones in them? im sure some1 has answered this b4 but i searched and couldnt find anything about these catfish filets... thanks in advance

I've switched up from tilapia to pangasius fillets with no issues. My fish prefer the tilapia but take the catfish fillets..

normally catfish filets dont have any bones but near the rib cage, and then it is just the rib cage, iv never used them, just know how to propperly clean a catfish lol
well walmart sells them already skinned and filet'd out properly.... just like tilapia that i buy. was just wandering if any1 had any issues with them. If i can start using catfish filets, then that would give me 5 different types of food my rays will eat. tilapia, scallops, shrimp, NLS pellets, and catfish filets.
As long as you know for sure what species of catfish it is, then you should be fine, a few species such as the channel catfish and bullhead contain thiaminase which you don't want.
The only problem I found with the pangasius fillets is that the meat is soft. I cut the fillets when they are partially frozen so the meat doesn't tear + use a sharp knife...
