I have a juvenile Bagarius (probably yarrelli, although it also could be bagarius or rutilus). He or she is about 6-7 inches long and I, too had a hard time feeding it.
I finally got it to take pieces of live earthworm (PetSmart usually has these, or you can dig them up, assuming there are no fertilizer or pesticides used in the digging area) from a pair of long tweezers/forceps. I had to literally put the worm right at its mouth before the catfish would grab it. Be patient, and it should work. After a while it greedily started eating whenever the worm was offered. Hope this helps.
