so i caught this guy in a river up in southern wisco, and it was in a net so i have zero clue what this guy eats. i'm sure he's not a bullhead, he's more slender, has smaller fins, has linda a silurus glanis type body shape except for the head. he is about 6". i'm guessing he's a madtom, but i've never seen em that big. must be power eating. i have no clue what to feed him but im kinda guessing i can try to wean him on to pellets because he shares waters with the bullhead which is a piece of cake to pellet train them. he's in a 10 gallon right now to pellet train him but as soon as i see him eat a pellet or flake he's going in a 55 because the 10 will not be suitable. LMK asap what to do with this guy. i also have a ton of frozen bluegill that i feed the oscar and the cannibal bluegill haha. i could feed him that too. thanks and LMK again what to do with this fella.
