Good footage here and there of the small scale mud carp plus I talk about it and the problem feeding it for a few minutes toward the end:

A bit of an update in the middle of the video on the mud carp. It is not feeding to our satisfaction.
https://fishbase.se/summary/Cirrhinus-microlepis.html "Inhabits large rivers and lowland floodplains. Occurs in riffle and deep slow reaches. Moves out into the flooded forest where it feeds on leafy plant matter, phytoplankton and insects."
Maybe try feeding it cooked soft vegetables such as cabbage to replicate?
The experiment appears to have been successful. The mud carp feeds on small NLS pellets and takes a long time, hours, half a day to finish them.
