Channel catfish

[jimus1219]

I have a 7 inch wild caught channel catfish had him almost a year im concerned hes not getting enough food my reasoning for this is i have 5 bluegill every time a drop food in my tank they swarm the food and these is none left any suggestion?

Feed more. Also try using a PVC tube to deliver food directly to the bottom

 

[kevinfleming21]

take the bluegill out.

^that's another good one

 

[matt clark]

try feeding at night. if not a small tube downt to the catfish and just drop the food down to them

 

[kevinfleming21]

but seriously lake stated before, just feed more or different types of food that will allow the cat access to it.

thats a good idea never thought of that thank you ill have to give that a shot

Try larger sized pieces of food that the small fish cant just gulp down. Sometimes they will get so greedy they take more than they can eat and it gives you more time to get food to the cat.

You can try dropping food in the tank after you shut the lights off. I do that for my plecos.
